NOTES A Devonport listener picked up a shortwave station on about 24.5 metres, both yesterday morning and to-day at 7.45. Volume was good, about R 6 and modulation was all that could be desired. For an hour yesterday this station broadcast talks in a foreign language, breaking in every now arid then with “Hello, -Japan.” These were the only words that were recognisable. The transmission is picked up within one degree of SSW, but is much stronger, and there is no interference. Reports on reception of this station and any details ts to position and hours of transmission will be welcomed.
