N.Z. Short-Wave Club

el £ From the Secretary’s Pen ANY short-wave listeners have notic‘ed* the absence of club announceuuents and technical talks from our stations on the 80-metre band. It appears that such broadcasts contravene the P. and T, regulations, and consequently they have ceased. However, I have written the authorities and am hoping for permission to continue. _ There is a tactful way of dealing with or what we think to be interference. If a station appears to be broad, the best way is to interview the operator. and, in nine cases out of ten, the interview will be satisfactory to both parties. In Some cases a long aerial is to blame. We are gaining many new members pit. having conquered the broadcast field,’ are entering into the gentle art of short-wave. .Of course, we must confess to inserting the broadcast coil ourselves occasionally, just to see what is doing there, but we usually switch back again. These hard times make us economise, and we have to make two valves reach out as far as we can. ‘There is an advantage in this though, because it keeps our tuning in. practice. Our monthly circular will be a little late this time,.for our printer sat up to catch a new station and caught the ‘flu instead. In ‘this issue the club artist makes his appearance, and a new list of stations has been prepared. . Address letters, A. B. McDonagh, Secretary N.Z. Short Wave Club, 274, Cuba ‘Street, Wellington.
