Sutherland, R.A. 1592, Hamilton, writes that DX has been good lately. He enjoyed the 5ZB " special." Verifications are WNBI, WCAB, WGEO, W2XE, TGWA, with 7HO, 2MO and 2LT on broadcast. Reports to WRUL, TG2, XGOX, Radio Saigon, 2R04,
2RO6, TAP, WDJN (old W4xB Miami, Florida) 6040 k.c’s, 5,000 watts, Heard for the first time, VLQ, 31.2 metres, and VLQ2 Sydney, 25 metres, transmitting simultaneously with programme for Europe and United Kingdom. Twenty metres has yielded 14 loggings -the K6’s are not so good. 2ZJ Gisborne has not replied to my reports. ZJV Suva has been out since June, 2CK not yet to hand either. (2CK will reply. ZJV usually replies promptly-suggest another report. 2ZJ requires postage and card ready for station official’s signature. -DX.Ed.) Battlefield Broadcasts Prompted by a BBC suggestion that actual broadcasts might be made direct from the battlefields, the Jacksonville "Times Union" (Florida) questions whether the horrors of war would make good radio material. The paper asks whether listeners would be thrilled to hear a soldier describe how it feels when machine-gun bullets swish through the body, shoot out both eyes or leave a leg dangling.
