Short-Wave Club Notes

From the Secretary’s Pen A USEFUL tip given by a member, who says: "I quite agree with | you when you say not to mind people = saying there is nothing on the air, It | is a matter of knowing the schedules¢ of the stations and just taking a run up and down the band to see if there are any strangers about." Mr. W. A. Shane, writing to Mr. Thwaites, of Shannon, who sent a report.on the special programme for the club, informs use that VE9GW will be off the air for an indefinite period. Some time ago I read in an overseas paper that the Amateur Radio Society of Malaya was opening a station in Kaula Lumpur. Mr. Cliff, of Kilbirnie, reports hearing this station, which is at the top of the 49-metre band. A report from Chicago verifies this.

Amateur telephony stations are reaching a very high standard in New Zealand, some of them, notably 2BE and 2FC, being models of efficiency in station conduct. 2LI, of Nelson, who joined us in order to give out sy morse for beginners, seems to be ceived in all parts of the Dominion. Times are hard, but I am still receiving donations in postage stamps toward the club addressing machine fund. The much-talked-of club room for Wellington seems likely to become an accomplished fact, and a_ special receiver for the purpose of club reporting on all wavelengths is "in the air." I have to thank readers for information sent in, which is very acceptable. Address inquiries to A. B. MeDonugh, Secretary, N.Z Short-wave Club. 4 Queen Street. Wellington, E.1., and get in before the sales tax, hi. hi.

-Yours fraternally,

MAC.
