N.Z. News Broadcasts For The Pacific
"HE first shortwave radio-tele-phone broadcasts of a public nature to be broadcast from New Zealand begen last Monday (May 3). A news bulletin of 10 minutes’ duration, originating in the office of the Director of Publicity, is being broadcast every evening in the week at 10 o’clock from Station 2YA for the use of New Zealand Forces in the Pacific Islands, and it will be transmitted simultaneously from the Post and Telegraph Department’s Station ZLT7 on 6.715 megacycles (44,67 metres), News was transmitted by Morse to the Cook and Chatham Islands and other dependencies of the Doninion before the war, and tadio telephone communication (ie, speech as distinct from code) has been in use for point-to-point communications with Australia, but these news transmissions will represent the first actual broadcasts by shortwave from New Zealand. Station 2YA’s 60 kilowatt transmitter has been heard all over the Pacific, and during the hours of darkness can be heard, under good atmospheric conditions, in virtually any Pacific island, The chief advantage of the supplementary transmission on_ short. wave is that when atmospherics obliterate 2YA in the tropics, the shortwave transmissions will be audible.
