Shortwave News CR7BE at Lourenco Marques, Mozambique, is directing test programmes to Europe and North America on 9.64 mc/s from 7 to 9 a.m., and should be heard on this schedule. Iran’s 25 k.w. transmitter at Teheran should be on the air very shortly-look for it as EQC on 9.68 mc/s after midnight. CJRX on 11.72 mc/s, and CJRO on 6.15 mc/s (both at Winnipeg, Canada) have returned to the air and are operating irregularly until as late at 6.30 p.m. CXA14 at Colonia, Uruguay, on 11.825 mc/s ("Radio El Mitro") is relaying broadcast station LR6 of Buenos Aires daily from 10 a.m. to 2.20 p.m. CXA7 is another new Uruguay transmitter at Montevideo relaying broadcast station CX26 of the same city in the early afternoons. CXA7 is on 11.48 mc/s. JDY at Dairen, Manchukuo, on 9.925 mc/s, broadcasts its English news "from the Japanese viewpoint" from 12.45 to lam. KQH on 14.92 mc/s, and KHE on 17.97 mc/s, both at Kahuku, Hawaii,
are broadcasting the commercial pro grammes "Hawaii Calls" on Sundaya from 1.30 to 2p.m., and "The Voice of Hawaii" on Mondays at the same hour, The National Bank of Mexico has a transmitter, XEHX, on 11.11 me/s, testing with recordings in the early afternoons. The same institution was well known some years ago for its failure to acknowledge the requested reports on its transmissions from XBJO. Brevities There are 104 Mexican stations operating between frequencies 570-1500 k.c. XERA, 840 k.c. with an authorised power of 250,000 watts (using 180,000 k.c. or 3 times 2YA’s power) is the most powerful, The lowest-powered is XETF, 1220 ke/s., using 12 watts. This is the smallest regular broadcast station in the western hemisphere. Its claim to the world title is disputed only by those 742 watt Chinese stations. (We are sceptical about that power. Probably these stations are now listed among the deletions -DX Ed.)
