N.Z. Shortwave Club

From the Secretary’s Pen HAVE much pleasure in stating that NZ31C has offered for competition among the members a painted silk emblem. The nature of the competition has yet to be decided. From time to time-I am asked if we ean arrange for slow Morse to be sent vn 80 metres; at present three transmitting members are obliging: Sundays, 1 to 2 p.m., ZL38FZ, Mr. A. F. Gledhill, Christchurch; Monday and Wednesday, 6.30 to 7 p.m, ZL2KL, Mr. N. A. Steele, Wellington; Tuesday and Thursday, 6.30 to Tp.m., ZL2L1, Mr. C. S. Munro, Nelson. Whether you are a member of the club or not we would like all who are taking advantage please report either to the stations or to me, as we would like to know whether it is worth continuing. I saw a unique motor-driven coil winder recently which has a device for counting the turns. It can be run at several speeds. The owner of this is building a power-pack specially for my shortwave set, and will nrobably wire up an old and tried circuit as a club receiver. During the day I have a number of callers and telephone rings. Will inquirers please note that I do not reach home until about 5.15 p.m. Many listeners are under the impression that, if they write in, they are under gn obligation to join. Any listener, by sending a stamp, will receive explanatory circulars, address to A. B. McDonagh, secretary, New Zealand Short Wave Club, + Queen Street, Wellington.-Yours fraternally, Mae.
