Shortwave Club Notes

From the Secretary’s Pen (By A. B. McDonagh, 4 Queen Street, Wellington, E1, ie connection with these notes I would like. to mention that. shortwave information is dealt with more fully in my mimeographed "Shortwaver," which is posted to members of the N.Z.S.W.C, The subscription for 12 months is 5/-, and the club is for those who wish to get as much news as possible about shortwave matters. With the assistance.of readers I endeavour to make this page a ready reckoner of items of general interest; in other words, a precis of what is doing at the moment. leaving the "Shortwaver" free to deal at length with other items which appeal only to those genuinely interested in shortwave reception. C.H.G., Milford, Auckland: Thank you for very comprehensive report, which | will deal with in the "Radio Times." DX396A.: I heard this "HSH-" station myself, but Siam advises that HSSPJ is on Mondays from 13.00 to 15.00 G.M.T. (This was heard at 2 a.m. Friday, July 7, on 32.9m.). J.D.W., Palmerston. North, reports a Cuban experimental about 31m, until 5.80 on the 12th, with a bugle call. W. Findlay, Waikino, reports, between 2.30 and 6.30 p.m. on 20 metres, some 2% Americans, Other countries, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela. and Honolulu. on the 11th. . The 20, 31 and 49-metre bands have considerably improved. On 7 megacycles I hear a "stranger" at 11 p.m., probably XGW, Shanghai. Quite a number of "strangers" are about and. when night conditions change, there will be more doing, Advice from Moscow shows that RAN is on 81.51m. at noor. N.Z.S8.T. Special Notice to All Listeners. The N.Z.A.R.T. and the N.Z.S.W.C. have organised a listeners’ contest which will take place on Friday, September 11. at 11.p.m. I will give complete details as easly as possible. Members are advised that I will have to hold up replies to letters for a day or so owing to the necessity of printing the. "Shortwaver." At the moment 50 letters await reply, so those who have me on their "non-reply" list should not give up hope. In view of special items arriving too late for publication, members. are request: ed to send me stamped addressed postcards for rush items,..... ees .

Radio club secretaries and all interested in shortwave reports to amatéur stations are asked to note my announcement in these notes in next issue.
