DUTCH RADIO STATION.
HEARD IN AUCKLAND
The Dutch low wave-length station P.C.J.J. has been heard by many life-teners-in on relay from Sydney, but comparatively few have heard it direct. Mr. E. J. Wiseman, of Takapuna, is one of the fortunate few. On a three-valve aet of his own design, specially made for low wave reception, Mr. Wiseman heard the Dutch station direct from 6.30 a.m. to 7.30 a.m. on Friday at full loudspeaker strength. The announcer spoke in English—or as near to it as he could achieve—and gave out messages for all parts of the world, including one for Australia. Musical items were also verr clearly heard. Mr. Wiseman picked up KJXK.A., the vVestinghouee station at Pittsburgh, on ?^ y^and 2X - A -E-> the General Electric Company's Schenectadv station, on Thursday. This station operates on a wave-length of 22 metres. _ The set upon which these distant sUTaons were brought in is one of extrayjMJary ew«tivene 66? perfect insulation PWB ? pas o| greatest juset*.
