The DX Club
(COULD anyone assist in solving the identity of a station I tuned in on the evening of February 25 on about 270 metres? Static was so bad that I could not get his call, though he was quite loud enough-the best I could make of it was 3WE or 8WS. I had him at 11.80. I have never heard of such a station, nor can I find it in any log book. Could you also let me know the wavelength of 8AC, Christchurch?-DIO-GENES (Cromwell). {Amateurs are not restricted to one particular wavelength, but operate through bands. These have been published previously. ] KDKA on a Crystal. ON Sunday afternoon last, 2YA having closed down early, I picked up KDKA on crystal set. Was this reproadeast by 2YA or was it an oscillating DX fiend in this locality? Some squealing ensued; strength was equal to 2YA and wavelength was somewhere about the same. ‘Trusting you can oblige with information-‘CRYSTAL" (Wellington). [Yes, this was no freak; 2YA was relaying KDKA.-HEd.]
