OVER THE AIR
COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. (Per United Press Association.) Ashburton, November 2. Mr. D. Buchanan, of Ashburton station 3AR reports that the American Station 6XV was first heard here at 7.10 a.m. on September 30 and at 2 p.m. on October 4. 6XV advised that his aerial power was six kilowatts. Portions of American amateur morse communications on this wavelength have been logged during October, but except in the case of 6XV the transmissions faded before the messages were completed. The best work of the local station on ten metres was a 30 minute morse two way communication with the Brisbane amateur 488 on September 30. The observations to date indicate that this wave length is very erratic, and unreliable. « -
