N.Z. Short-wave Club

RovUTIND work has oecupied my time this week; to give an idea of the business, 30 letters and 150 circulars were posted in addition to interviews and other duties, The plan is being adopted now of sending a letter once a month when all cards, atc, can go together.

Urgent letters are treated in the ordinary manner, . I received a letter from the Broadcasting Co., stating that they hoped to draw up plans for a dual wavelength short-wave station, but, at present, nothing definite had been decided on, The B.B.C. wish the club every success, Rumour has it that &nother of our members has his ham ticket, Mr, MeKenzie, near Blenheim, Reports _ still come in expressing appreciation of the slow morse transmissions. Mr. L. Saunders, writing from’ Auckland, sends me down an_ interesting report on reception there. He says he gets far better results than in Wellington, and can put 2AW on the speaker with only two valves, He often gives headquarters a call from 1BO’s Monday session from 7 p.m. onward, The mascot of IBC is one lack cat, A number of members evidently missed the issue of the "Record" which contained instructions on how to fill in report cards, so I am arranging for instructions to be included with each order. Don’t forget the address, A, B. McDonagh, secretary, N.Z, Short-wave Club, 274 Cuba Street, Wellington,
