Identification Wanted. I HAVE noticed lately .in the early ‘hours of the. morning that there are plenty of Australian amateurs on ‘the air, but I am unable to hear any call-signs, Wavelength, between 200 and 300 metres (1500 and 1000 k.c.). Has any other listener heard these sta-

tions

Stations Identified. IN response to the appeal from Miss Dryden (Southland), I would like to say that the station she heard was ARDI, one of the’whaling ships (C. A. yarsen). Re "New Chum". (Morrinsvilié), the station heard was WLW. Also, Mr. MacSherry claims he was the first to log WLW, but I find on consulting my log that I first.received this station on January 14, 1929. Date of verification card from WLW is February 28. Re Mr. K. A. Dixon (Wellington): The station heard was 2YB, 244 metres (1280 k.c.), so his set must be a little out in regard to frequency

DX ‘Topics. SHOULD any other listeners wish to hear Old Folk songs accompanied by piano and violin, I would advise them to tune in to 2Z9F, Palmerston North. Wave-length 285 metres (1050 k.e.). . Many American stations comMmence transmitting market reports, ’-eté., at about 11 p.m. (N.Z. time), and these may also be of interest to listeners. I think the following just about constitutes a record: At 6.45 p.m, recently we heard 25 American stations on ‘the loudspeaker. ‘They were all very‘clear, and I think that this is the proper time to hear them. Later on we had the pleasure of listening to the Palmerston North sacred concert which was relayed by 2YA. Hveryone in our household was greatly pleased with this eoncert, and with the clearness of re-

ception.
