MORE WIRELESS WORK.
TINAKORI HILLS STATION. NEW RECEIVING DEPARTMENT. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. Additional accommodation has become necessary at the Tinakori Hills radio station, and tenders have been called. It is not necessary to add to the antennae. The present system, though simple, is doing the work. It is in order to keep pace with the more modern methods of signalling that increased accommodation is necessary. The new building will be used primarily as a receiving station and is therefore to be erected at a little distance from the transmitter. It will be possible to "work" shipping, coastal stations, Samoa, Rarotonga and the Pacific Islands simultaneously. Fomerly the Islands service was done from Awanui, in the North, but Wellington has now taken over that work; For some time the Wellington station has been using the short-wave transmission in addition to its ordinary functions as a coast station, and it is partly on this account that increased accommodation is necessary.
