1ZQ, AUCKLAND

Pus station, 1ZQ, working on the wavelength of 258 metres, has been heard largely throughout New Zealand, and occasionally in Australia. The usual night for transmission are Monday and Thursday, from 8 to 10 p.m., and Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6. Special features of the proramme are a radio talk at 8.30, during the evening transmission, and a children’s hour on Sunday, when Uncle Q. talks to the "kiddies." On Sunday, too, there is a special tea-time session from 5.30 to 6 p.m., with orchestral and intrumental musie. The first Monday in the month is generally made a dance night. Programmes put over are built from singers, speakers, instrumentalists, and gramophone records. The power of the station is being increased to 250 watts in the near future, when the service will be greatly inmproyed. The announcer and operator of IZQ is Mr. Roy Keith. His service to radio has extended over a number of years, and has been of definite value. We are glad to give the foregoing particulars, as through some mischance this station was not included in the tabulated list of New Zealand stations in the "N.Z. Radio Listeners’ Guide." |
