JAMMED RADIOS
Japanese Blamed
(N.Z. Press Association)
WHANGAREI, Mar. 16.
Japanese fishing boats have been jamming Whangarei Marine Radio Communication Association messages and New Zealand fishing boats are either keeping silent or using a jargon the Japanese do not understand.
This was claimed by members at the annual meeting of the association and it was decided to ask the Postmas-ter-General to try to have the frequency used by the Japanese fishing boats altered.
Members said it was frequently impossible to send messages over the radio because of the Japanese sending messages in morse and radio-telephone close to the 2045 frequency. The problem was worse in the evenings.
On several occasions New Zealand fishermen reporting good fishing had heard boats listening in and within a short time had been joined by Japanese boats.
Drinking.—New South Wales drinkers consumed more than 100 million gallons of beer last year—two million gallons more than the previous year.—Sydney, March 16.
