N.Z. Short-wave Club Notes
A SUDDEN drop in the inward correspondence leads me to believe thut the members are taking more interest in the elections, so I have been enabled to have a short rest. Mr. Spence Ellis, of dx fame, has heen down to see us; he tells me that he: is out to log all our stations. However, we wish him luck and as much success with short-wave as he has had-on the broadcast band. We are also pleased to welcome him into the club. A number of members speak of taking their sets out for the Christmas holidays to test out reception and keep in touch
with civilisation-a reminder, don’t forget to notify the inspector. The Stenotube has been taken up in Ameriea, where they speak very highly of this British invention This valve appears to be eminently. suitable for shortwave. . I often have a number of visitors to see me during the day, but they are, disapointed; I do not arrive home until after p.m. I would appreciate it if visitors from the country would drop a note, as this would save their time and they would be sure of seeing me. . It is a difficult matter anyone
how to tune a short-wave set by means of a letter, but_this is part of my duty. Occasionally I receive a letter which Js .a veritable examination paper as to the merits or demerits of various sets or designs. _ One, in particular, asked: "Shall I build or buy? Shall I get an allelectric or battery set, or should I build it? Which of the following is the best?" and so on. The tactful way was to sup ply addresses of owners of the sets named, and thus I got out of the difficulty. ‘If the position is an honorary one, there are compensations. From the invitations T have received I would need many weeks’ holiday to accept each one in turn, and I would have to travel from Auckland to the Bluff. Address me: A. B. McDonagh, Secretary, N.Z.S.W.C., 274 Cuba Street, Wellington, and remember by passing on any information you are helping the other chap. Cheerio. ours, MAC.
