To Further Amateur Radio ° A "Radio Hobbies" Club, with headquarters in Wellington, has recently been formed, with the object of increasing the interest in radio construction and in radio generally. The following are the officers of the organisation :- President: Hon. J. B. Donald (Post master-General). Vice-presidents : Messrs. A. R. Harris (General Manager Radio Broadcasting Company), A. J. Heighway (Managing Editor "Radio Record’), F. HB. Fitt (manager Philips Lamps N.Z. Ltd.), G. W. Robertson (N.Z. manager Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Ltd.). Technical advisers: Messrs. W. M. Dawson, A.M.I.R.B., M.I.W.T. (Philips Lamps), and Colin. W. Smith, B.A. ("Radio Record"). Hon. auditor: Mr. W. Mason. Organiser: Mr. A, Cornish. * Secretary: Mr. M. Loften. ‘The club intends to issue periodically circuits of various receivers. These will, for the start, be of a comparatively simple nature to enable beginners to grasp the fundamentals of radio construction, and will lead up to more diffi-

cult and interesting circuits for the more advanced. There will be crystal sets and amplifiers, both a.c. and d.e. One and two-valve sets will follow, leading up to all types of sets that will interest constructors. Ait present one of the most attractive features of the club is that there is no membership fee, and intending members should join up while these pleasant conditions last. Al interested persons should write to the secretary, Box 163, Te Aro, Wellington, and ask to be registered as a member. Circuits will then be posted from time to time as they become available. It is requested that a stamped and addressed envelope be enclosed with all correspondence to the club.
