Is It Short Wave?

(To the Editor.) N wis week’s "Record" I read of a Mr. Thomson recetving J.B. (J.P. in the "R.R.," an error I presume) on 25 metres. It will be of interest to Mr. Thomson (also other S8.W. listeners) to know that there is no 5S.W. station operated by J.B. I have received a letter verifying my statement, This letter is at the disposal of any listener in doubt. ‘The brondcasting station JB, working on 448 mefres, operates as under :- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, from noon to 2 p.m, and 5 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. Saturdays, from noon to 2 pm. 5 pm, to 11.45 pm, Sundays, from 3.30 p.m. to 5 pm, and 7.15 p.m. to 10 p.m. They hope to increase power shortly from } kw. to 10 k.w. Also 8AN, Sourabaya, operates Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Java time; 40 metres finds him. VPD is much louder here on about 19.6 mnetres than 875. ABG2 has also been received on one valve clearly, testing with 2ME. My log now totals nearly three hundred telephony stations=-J. Rait (Brooklyn). ne now -_ : xo
