grammes will be heard regularly round the world in the near future, according to the owners of the international station WPIT, Pittsburgh, and WBOS, Boston. These stations plan a shortwave service available to advertisers. The change from experimental to commercial status is the result of a recent ruling of the Federal Communications Commission. SHORTWAVE NEWS HAT4, at Budapest, Hungary, is on the air daily on 9.125 mc/s from noon to 1 p.m. with announcements in many languages. S PONSORED ss shortwave _proThe first of the amateur. stations with the South Pole Expedition to come on the air was KC4USC, and it made its first *phone contact with K6BNR at Honolulu. KC4USC was operating then on 14.18 mc/s, but it seems that its signals will "skip" New Zealand. The Berlin station DZC, on 10,29 mec/s, is being heard with very good signals from 11.30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a programme directed to Brazil.
TIEP, on 6.69 mc/s, is one of the best Costa Rican stations on the air at the present time, and can be heard beginning its programme at midnight. TIEP is located at San Jose. Chinese transmitters are becoming more common. In addition to XGOY on 11.91 mc/s and XGOK on 11.65 mc/s, which are fairly widely heard, there are two new transmitters on the air after 11 p.m. on 9.74 mc/s and 8.03 mc/s. English announcements by women are heard from both, but so far they are not identified. CXA19 at Montevideo is the latest Uruguayan station to come on the air and has been testing on 11.68 mc/s up to 5 p.m. CSW7, Lisbon, Portugal, has a programme with French and English announcements on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 9am., while its regular programme for North America is on the air daily from 11.15 a.m- to 2 p.m.
