Short-Wave Radio Programmes
The National Broadcasting Service plans to open its first short-wave radio station, ZL3 and ZL4, in the near future. Based in Wellington, the station’s programmes are transmitted from Titahi Bay on 71 kilowatts. It has two transmitters, • which were beamed east during the recent tests and operated by the Post and Telegraph Department during the war. The opening date will be decided after letters from listeners to the tests are analysed to give a picture of the reception in other parts of the world. Over 1500 letters on the November tests were received from Sweden, Britain, Arabia, Chittagong (Pakistan. India), the United States, South America. Australia, and other parts of the world. —P.A.
