N.Z. Short-wave Club Notes

From the Secretary’s Pen I HAVE been greatly indebted to Mr. BH. Bleazby, late of the N.Z.G.M.V., "Maui Pomare," for assistance with the club circulars, etc. This gentleman has had wide experience of dx work at sea, as he has had an eight-valve set: all around the Australian and New Zealand coasts and around the islands. At present the secretarial den resembles a newspaper office, with envelopes and circulars being prepared for the Christmas mail. No doubt there will be considerable activity among shortwavers and dxers who will be following the clock round for Christmas and New Year celebrations. It is difficult at times to know just exactly what members would want and, if they would overcome their shyness, and I was nearly going to say tiredness, and write in, their ideas could be utilised. This applies to reception as well. Possibly, at times, we may think our information is of no value, but I am in a position to know how eagerly the majority of shortwavers await the radio notes in the "Record." If a new station is heard it is an opportunity of trying out their sets, so it béhoves all listeners, whether dx or s.w., to tell us what they know. We have not been going twelve

months yet, Dut resuits are very Satisfying and, from present appearances, it does not look as though we will lose any members next April, if we still inecreasé as we are doing I will have to consider engaging some apprentices. I wish all readers the Compliments of the Season and trust that 1932 will bring you all the best of reception. .

Yours fraternally,

MAC.
