Similar work had been carried out at Ohawe, near Hawera, at Russell and at the Symonds street Cemetery, Auckland. Local radio enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that Farmer’s station arc, Sydney, which has been operating on 1100 metres ever since its inception, has at last decided to shift its wave to a lower band.

This shorter wave should he much improved, as it wall be remembered that 3LO, Melbourne, i was less than its present strength I when working on 1750 metres.
