With the Branches: Dunedin recently held its annual meeting, which was attended by some Timaru members. Five of the foundation members were -present. Broadcast enthusiasts have noted the strong signal froms XERB (1090: kc/s), Rosarita Beach, California. The station has been heard in local.t.es where American zones are not strong from. 12.30 a.m. 3LK has suffered frequently, being over-ridden by XERB. KGEI, at San Francisco, broadcasts a news bulletin daily at 5.30 p.m. and again. at. midnight on 9.53 mc/s. The former is not always received.very well because of-interference from Paris Mondial on 9,52 mc/s, but. the, midnight transmission is usually 100% readable. CEC, .a commercial transmitter at Santiago, Chile, has been heard a number of times recently. about 12.30 a.m., with a musical programme. Look for it on 10.23 mc/s, but’ do not. confuse PMN Bandoeng, Java, on .10.26.mc/s. WPIT at Pittsburg -, "The Pioneer Shortwave .Broadcasting Station of the World" — is being heard with good signals on 11.87. mc/s at 3.30 p.m., when it shifts to 6.14 mc/s.

The Rangoon, Burma, stations, XYZ on 6.007 -mc/s, and XZZ on -3.488 me/s, are now announcing -their callsigns in place of the former. simple "Rangoon calling."
