This is the third part of an alphabetical list giving details of foreign language shortwave stations, contributed by the DX Association in the belief that such information will make identification of stations easier: Canada (Continued) CHNX, Halifax, N.S. 500 watts. Relays CHNS. Internal signal of four chimes. Announces as "The Shortwave Experimental Station of the Key Station of the Maritimes." Closes with "God Save the King." Owners, Maritime Broadcasting Co., Ltd. P.O. Box 99, Halifax, ‘N.S. CKFX, Vancouver, B.C. Two and a-half watts. Announces "This is the World’s Smallest Radio Station." QRA: 743 Davie Street.

Announcements and programme mostly in French. QRA: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 1231 St. Catherine Street, West Montreal. * * * "THE U.S.A. Government fully realises ‘" the extreme importance of shortwave reception and transmission in these times of national emergency. The entire U.S.A. shortwave broadcasting system is being mobilized for national defence. Stanley P. Richardson, veteran foreign correspondent, has been appointed International Broadcasting Coordinator in charge of this important work, * Ps * Mrs. K. Sawyer, of Pukehuia, Northern Wairoa, advises having heard a strange station on 590kc. from 7.30 p.m. onward, From the description Mrs, Sawyer gives, it would appear that this station is a Free French one operating from New Caledonia or Tahiti. Maybe it is our old friend FJP, Nouméa, back again. DX-er’s will remember FJP, who used to broadcast on 600kc. several years ago. * = * Owing to XPRA, Kunming, China, on 690ke., having increased its power to 50kw., it is now difficult to log 6WF, Perth, the Chinese station dominating this frequency most of the time. * ca . 3CV Charlton, Victoria, on 1470ke., is mow using 500 watts power.
