SHORT-WAVE STATION FOR N.Z.
CONSIDERATION INTENDED BY
GOVERNMENT
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON. November 3,
The intention of the Government to give some consideration during the next 12 months to the establishment of a short-wave radio station was referred to by the Postmaster-General (the Hon. F. Jones), when moving the second reading of the Broadcasting Amendment Bill in the House of Representatives to-day. . “A short-wave station is fairly costly,” said Mr Jones. “The building and equipment for such a station are estimated to cost £67,500, and the annual cost of operation is estimated to be £ 11,000. However, there are a great many advantages in having a short-wave station from which New Zealand Would be able to broadcast to. other parts of the Empire.”
