Club Notes

eee From the Secretary’s Pen. (By A. B. McDonagh, Sec,, N.Z.S.W.C., 4 Queen St., Wellington.) REGRET that owing to Jate arrival of news I was unable to supply details of several special broadcasts. Though late for this issue I hope that most of the members will receive their "Shortwaver" in time, The League of Nations advise me that their second weekly broadeast has been fixed for Monday mornings at 6.45 aim. G.M.T., on a wavelength of 31.27 metres. T have also received a photograph of the transmitter building of RNE and RV59, Moscow, U.S.S.R., which shows snow lying almost halfway up the ground floor windows. The chief editor advises me that we may soon hear English from RV15. ‘Several times 1 have mentioned that listeners should keep tuning in to the Empire station. Some very outstanding broadcasts are taking place, and the Jubilee celebrations in May should come in quite well. As many were away on holiday, there was not a large attendance at the N.Z.S.W.C. general meeting just before waster. The subjects were a paper o "What is on the Air at Present?’ a lecturette (by courtesy of the B.B.C.), and lantern views of listeners’ outfits, QSL cards, ete. If sufficient support is forth-

coming, further public meetings will be held in Wellington and in other parts. A great many amateurs, on 20 metres, particularly American, are being reeciyed in the afternoons in various parts 9! New Zealand. HAQ is being reported a's gaining in strength, so the special broadcast should come through well. The following are the usual Japanese telephony stations:-Dxperimental stu tion JZG, 47.89 metres’ (6.35 meg) ; tele phony station JVT, 44.44 metres (6.75 meg); and JVM, 27.93 (10.74).
