New A.W.A. Service
ANEW broadcasting service was commenced last month by Amal gamated Wireless (Australasia) Ltd., for the purpose of supplying a regular weekly programme for world wide reception.
The broadcast suitable for reception in Papua, New Guinea, Fiji, New Cale donia and New Hebrides is the one on Sundays, from 7.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. (Eastern Australian standard time).
The transmissions are carried out through the 20 kilowatt short wave transmitter at Radio Centre, Pennant Hills.
The total European population of Papua, at June 30, 1930, was 1,525 — only a slight increase on the previous year.
