THE HIGHEST RADIO STATION
Sir,-May I be permitted to make some slight correction to your paragraph (Page 23, April 5), regarding station HCJB, Quito, Ecuador. The station is situated on the slopes of Mount Pichincha to the north of Quito, and is operated and controlled by the "World Radio Missionary Fellowship," not by the British and Foreign Bible Society. This Fellowship is a non-profit organisation incorporated in the State of Ohio. Among the members of the Home advisory council of the station was, until recently, Dr. Thomas Buchan, of Glasgow, Scotland, but otherwise the Council was of U.S. residents. For those of your readers who may be interested the station may be heard in New Zealand on 12.5 megacycles between 2.0 p.m, and 3.30 p.m. on Sundays. The station is the pioneer missionary broadcaster, and has grown from a 200-watt transmitter for local work opened on Christmas Day, 1931, to the present 10,000-watt short wave station opened on Easter Sunday, 1940, by the Presi-
dent of Ecuador. —
