ON TEN METRES
AMERICAN STATION HEARD LONG TALK WITH BRISBANE Press Association ASHBURTON, Friday. Mr. 33. Buchanan, of the private Ashburton radio station. 3AR, reports that' the American station, 6XV, was first heard here at-7.10 a.m. on September 30, and at 2 p.m., October 4,6 XV advised his aerial power as six kilowatts. Portions of American amateur Morse communications on this wave-length have been logged during October, but except in the case of 6XV transmissions faded before the messages were completed.
The best work of the local station on 10 metres was a 30-minute Morse two-way communication with the Brisbane amateur station, 488, on September 30. Observations to date indicate that tliis wave-length is very erratic and unreliable.
