Short Wave News
ON Wednesday, January 30, writes Mr. C. P. Wilkinson (Blenheim), I decided to test out what Mr. Morrison suggested in your last issue with regard to SSW, and accordingly tuned in my short-wave set about 12.30 a.m. in search of him. Listened for a while to a station on 17 metres calling what sounded like "Hullo Kopang; here is Bandoeng." This repeated several times and I concluded he was PLG, Java. I picked up 5SW about 12.45 a.m. and held him until he closed at 1.35 a.m. I must say I was astonished at the volume, and clarity. Volume was about R8-9-all through and clarity all that could be desired. I strongly recommend other short-wave enthusiasts to lose an hour or two of sleep to listen to 5SW at this hour. I am certainly going to have another late sitting. I have heard 5SW many times, but never like this.
