More Than 5000 Stations Listed

T is with justifiable pride that we announce the 1988 Winter Edition of the "N.Z. Radio Call Book" as the best issue yet. Special care was taken in its compilation to ensure its being absolutely complete and correct in all details at time of printing, and the result is a call book up to the standard of the best published anywhere in the world! This is no idle claim, In all, well over 5000 stations are listed, including those in Australasia, North and South America, the East, and Europe. Every broadcast band station in the world, from a 5-watt Chinese to a_ giant American station using a power of 500,000 watts, is listed, not only in order of frequency and wavelength, together with call and address, but alse alphabetically in order of call sign. This method has been found indispensable for quick reference. A complete list of world shortwave broadeasting stations is also included and it certainly is complete! Frequencies, wavelengths, calls, addresses, and up-to-the-minute details of the times of transmission of them all, are contained in this list! For the benefit of those interested in listening to amateur stations, the calls and addresses of all amateur transmitting stations in New Zealand and Australia, arranged in districts and alphabetically, appear in this issue, But this is not all!
