NEW SCHEDULE FOR STATION 3LR, LYNDHURST

The Australian Broadcasting Commission’s short-wave station, SLR, Lyndhurst, Victoria, is operating for the first time this week on a new schedule. Previously it did not operate on Sunday, but last Sunday it relayed the programme of 3LO Melbourne, from 7.30 p.m. to midnight, New Zealand time.

The week-day sessions are to continue an hour later, and tfie programmes for this week show that a feature called “Extracts from The Watchman’s ‘At Home and Abroad’” will be given at midnight from Monday to Friday. Short-wave listeners are specially catered for twice a week; at 12.45 a.m. on Thursday there is to be a “recorded session for short-wave listeners.” and at 12.15 on Sunday morning there are “items of interest to short-wave listeners.” Previous to this week all the programmes listed for SLR were given as relays of one of the two Melbourne A stations, and there were no separate short-wave broadcasts. 3LR operates on a wave-length of 31.32 metres, with one kilowatt power.
