EMPIRE SERVICE

The Empire Station Frequencies and the News Bulletins in English remain unchanged. The BBC’s New Zealand Observer, who supplies us with thé information for this page, writes to say that he has read with much interest, Les. W. Sutherland’s comments in The Listener (issue of December 22) regarding two mistakes which had evidently been made in the list of News Bulletins in English. "As Mr. Sutherland has received a verification card from Manchuria, I must accept his call-sign as the correct one," he writes. "With regard to the Pittsburgh Station which I have listed at WTIC; I have ascertained that this is the call-sign of the long-wave Station, radiating the same programme; WPIT, therefore, is the correct call-sign of the short-wave Station. I, too, thank Mr. Sutherland for his information."
