SHORTWAVE HIGHLIGHTS
N December 29 the Overseas Service of the BBC became once again the peace-time service under its original title of the General Overseas Service. One very significant result of the war is the greater number of stations carrying this programme, and the increase in power of most of them. Prior to the war the BBC shortwave stations were rated at 10-50 kilowatts; to-day the majority of them are 100 kilowatts. Stations, Frequencies, Wavelengths, and Times of Transmission: GSD, 11.75 mc/s, 25.53 metres, 4.0 p.m.-9.0 a.m.; GWG, 15.11 me/s, 19.85 metres, 6.010.0 p.m.; GSO, 15.18 mec/s, 19.76 metres, 6.0 p.m-9.15 am.; GSV, 17.81 me/s, 16.84 metres, 10.0 p.m.-5.0 a.m; GVS, 21.71 mc/s, 13.82 metres, 6.010.0 p.m. The above stations. are only a few of those heard carrying this programme, but they are the ones which are received at consistently good strength. Although no great change has been made jn the programmes, there are a few minor points worthy of notice. Several news periods are affected. The bulletins at 2.30 p.m. 5.0 am. and 10.15 a.m. disappear from the schedule, ‘and are replaced by "Twenty-four Hour News" at 3.0 p.m. and bulletins at 6.0 a.m. and 11.0 a.m. A Talks period-normally 20 minutes in length-is being introduced at 10.0 p.m., Mondays to Fridays inclusive, presenting a variety of subjects by authoritative speakers.
