>= Ss R. A. GLEDHILL, of Spreydon, has received the following letter from the engineer of the shortwave station ANE, Bandoeng, Java: "We received your very interesting letter dated December 18, 1928, concerning your reception of ANH. We have four shortwave telephony transmitters, used for duplex telephony, with PCLL, Holland, or with 2MH, the shortwave station, of the Amalgamated Wireless Company at Sydney. ‘The lowest in wavelength is PLE (formerly AND), on 15.74 metres erystal-controlled, power 25 kw. The second is PLF (formerly ANH), on 17.4 metres, power also 25 k.w. The third is the high-powered, just finished PLG crystal-controlled, on 18.88 metres, power about 60 k.w. The last, PLR,,on 27.8 metres, also using 25 kw. PLE, PLF, and PLG daily start at 12 deg. G.M.T., until about i6deg. G.M.T., after which PLR is used until 19deg. G.M.T. Only on Wednesday, PLG or PLE, starts at 10 deg. G.M.T. for duplex telephony with 2MB. We are sure reception of these stations will be very good in New Zealand, and we should like to get any information about it. It was our station PLR on 27 metres you have heard once in the early morning. PCLL, the Dutch station, is on 18.4 metres from 12deg.-16deg. G.M.T., and on 38.8 metres from 16deg. G.M.T., and twice daily, except on Sunday. Perhaps you will be so kind to inform the New Zealand radio Press, and ask them for reports."
