Radio In The Islands

The enjoyment to be obtained from radio receiving sets throughout the Pacific Islands is quickly being realised by Islands residents, and there is a growing army of “listeners” in all groups.

It is unique that planters in the most isolated parts are in less than a minute able to transport themselves to civi lisation by the simple process of “tun ing-in.”

There is no doubt about the popu larity of radio. Testimony of this is provided in figures supplied by Amal gamated Wireless (A/sia) Ltd., the big Australian wireless organisation. Last year, during the month of March, Amalgamated Wireless sold 300 receiv ers. The company expected to dispose of 800 during March, 1930. Actually, 1,200 receivers were built and sold in March.
