An Additional Report

"W G.L.". (Southland) forwards the * following additional notes :-- The reception for the last week has been good. My log is as follows :- Monday, April 8, 83LO kas heard at good volume, the announcer stating he was on 31.55 metres. Tuesday, April 9, 5SW calling at 1.20 p.m. This is the first time I have heard 5SW. Two short-wave foreigners were testing at about 10.25 to 10.40 p.m. Wednesday, at 7.30 am, SSW was rather weak. ‘There was another station a little below 5SW’s wavelength, broadcasting music at 7.30 a.m.. At 8.20 p.m. these two foreigners were testing. This time I heard one of them say, "Hello, Amsterdam," so I took the other to be PCLL Holland. Thursday, 5SW was tuned in at 6.55 a.m., and a talk about fishing was heard. This talk finished about 7.13 a.m., when 5SW said they were going to work on Antenna A for the next 15 minutes. Strength was R9. There was another station about one degree below. 5SW, at 1.45 p.m. I waited quite a long time, but could get no eall. Another station, about 5 degrees below SSW, was rather weak with much talk. At 7.45 p.m. the two foreigners were at it again. I heard them starting up at 7.45 p.m. The one I took to be PCLL was heard to call Bandoeng. Both stations being R8, and 100 per cent. readable.
