Vienna on Short-wave

JN recent numbers of your paper you frequently mention a _ station,

VOR2, Vienna. This call sign is incorrect. It should be UOR2. I have received two letters from this station, one dated February 7, 1929, and the other December 17, 1999. Wavelengths of 49.4 and 24.7 metres are used. When I first received this station on 24.7 metres a power of 13 watts was used. Volume was about R3. In July of 1929 the power was raised to 20 watts, and that is the power used now. The following is a copy of the most recent letter received from

this station.-
