RADIO EXPERIMENTS.
RECEPTION OF AMERICAN SIGNALS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) ASHBURTON, Friday. Mr. D. Buchanan, of the private Ashburton radio station 3AR. reports that the American station 6XV was first heard here at 7.10 a.m. on September 30, and at 2 p.m. on October 4, 6XV advised his aerial power as six kilowatts. Portions of American amateur Morse communications on this wave-length liave been logged during October, but except in the case of 6XV transmissions faded before the messages were completed. The best work of the local station on 10 metres was a 30-minute Morse twoway communication with the Brisbane amateur station, 488, on September 30. Observations to date indicate that this wave-length is very erratic and unreliable.
