Short-Wave Club Notes

HERE are signs of activity among the transmitting members of the Club. Mr. J. BE. Mills (ZL2BE) is temporarily conducting the broadcasts for the NZART. Mr. Roy Clarke (ZL2ZAW) may soon be heard again. I paid him a visit recently and found him trying out an amplifier, the quality of which listeners will appreciate. The A.C. version of the Short Wave Club two will soon be to hand. Another well-known member we will soon bear again is Mr. Geo, King (ZL2GM). I would advise all readers of the "Record," if: they do not bind their copies, to at least keep a scrap book for ~ cuttings of hints, answers, circuits, etc., In the near future many ‘positions in radio will be offering. Many are anxious to go in for transmitting, but the receiving side is equally important. You chaps who are experimenting %gad listening-in are unconsciously gaining a very valuable experience of conditions ov all wave-lengths, and this will stand you in good stead later on. Ov several occasions recently young beginners have rung me saying they had burnt their valves out by dropping the A lead on to the B battery. It is always advisable, when disconnecting battery leads, to put the A connections on first and take them off last and thus save shorts. This month is the second anniversary of the paragraph in the "Record" announcing the formation of the NZSWC. Since the commencement the. average letters answered per month is about 80, and the Club is in the happy- position of having its own equipment, : Still the same. address, 4 Queen Street, Wellington 1.
