NOTES A short-wave station on 47 metres was received by a local listener on Monday night from 11.30 p.m., onwards. The transmission came through at fair headphone strength using three valves. The call sign consisted of four letters, followed by the wavelength. Unfortunately static prevented the call being recot;%sed, but either the second or third letter is thought to be an X. Any reports of reception of this station will be welcomed. U.S.A. BROADCASTING STATIONS Many of the American broadcasting stations within range have recently altered their wave-lengths.
