The Big Change After being postponed at least three times, the big change of frequencies of North American radio stations has at last taken place. At 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, more than 90 per cent. of the North American radio stations moved their frequencies. As far as.can bé ascertained at this early stage, the move will mean better reception in New Zealand or American stations, The following were noted as being particularly good on the evening after the change-over: KQW 740 KMOX 1120 WSB 750 KSOO 1140 WCcco-= 830 KSL 1160 KOA 850 WJJD 1160 XEMO 860 WWVA 1170 WLS 890 WCAU 1200 KFKA 910 KLS 1310 KFWB 980 KDYL 1320 KJR 1000 KFAC 1330 XEAW 1010 WSAI_ 1360 KOB 1030 KGIR_ 1370 KNX 1070 KERN 1410 KRLD 1080 KSTP 1500 KJBS 1100 WKBW 1520 WTAM 1100
Shortwave Flashes VLR Melbourne has adopted.a new channel for its daylight transmissions, and is being heard on 11.76 mc. It is using the call sign of VLR7 on this frequency. The new 714 kw. station of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation near Montreal, Quebec, is now in operation using the following calls and frequencies: CBFW on 6.16, CBFX, 9.63; CBFY, 11.705, and CBFZ on 15.19 mc. CBFW is reported to be in operation daily from 11.30 p.m. until 4 p.m. next day, with programmes almost entirely in French. The station address is: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 1231 St. Catherine St. West, Montreal, P.Q. ' SVM at Athens is now broadcasting a special programme for North American listeners daily from 11 a:m. on 9.935 mc. YDR Batavia, Java, is believed to be the station on 4.48 mc. heard nightly from 11 p.m. It has now been joined by another unidentified transmitter on 4.38 mc. with the same programme. Reception at these lower frequencies is fairly good at the present time, and such stations as YDG5, Batavia, on 4.865 and YDP3, Soerabaya, on 4.895 m.c., can be depended upon for entertainment, from before 11 p.m.
