CRICKET SCORES,

(By “Microphone.”)

Cricket enthusiasts should have experienced no difficulty in picking up the Australian cricket scores on Saturday night. When “Microphone” was searching the ether at 11 o’clock 2VA, 3VA, 3AB, 21* C and 2BL were giving the saino results. Of the Australians, the 2FC announcer took the most care over his announcements, repeating each score and sentence. 2BL required only half the time to broadcast the same news, but his style was brusque. CHANGED CALL SIGNS.

The powerful Siberian short wave station which operates on 70 metres every day, except Sunday, is reported to have changed its call sign. Originally RA97, the sign was changed to RAI6. The latest report states that the announcements are now prefixed by the letters RBIS. When VK2ME is being employed in the Australian-Great Britain duplex telephone service, the call is VLK. VK2ME sometimes works on about 18.7 _ metres when testing with Java and America.

IN THE FLOOD AREA. The Australian Broadcasting Company received a very interesting letter from a listener in the recently' flooded area of Maitland. In the course of his letter, the grateful listener said': “I cannot let this record flood pass away which we have experienced in the Maitland district without conveying to your our appreciation of your broadcasting news. We are situated on a dairy farm five miles from Maitland on the Hunter River and as we have only a low-level bridge we were prisoners for four days, with not even a public telephone. We had only our little wireless set and we had to depend on it for news.”
