W6XN and KGO
Me. ALLAN PARCHLL, Invercargill, writes :-In "Radio Record" dated February 22, 1929, Mr. Sellens, in "The Short Wave Jottings," mentions the short-wave station of KGO, but so far ' has not heard the call sign of the shortwave transmitter. . I first heard this station on Monday, January 21, at 5.380 p.m. ‘The signals were 90-100 per cent. readable, and I held them until 6 p.m., when KGO signed off, and announced that the short-wave transmission was carried out through station W6XN. KGO was giving a reception to members of the Young Australian League, who are making a tour of U.S,A. The announcement was KGO, "General Wlectric Co.,’? California, and short-wave transmitter W6XN. _ Ihave since heard W6XN in the morning at 6 to 7 o’clock, at about R5 at 6 am. to R8 at 7 am., usually on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. I have written to KGO for information, and will be pleased to forward to you any further. | data I may receive, ‘
