Honiara Experiments With Broadcasting
HONIARA Radio Station, whichr for nearly five years has broad cast an experimental transmission off local news for half an hour on Sun day mornings, conducted experi mental broadcast transmissions fromr 5 to 6 p.m. and from 8 to 9 p.m-i during the third and fourth weeks off May, with the call sign VQO, on a* frequency of 1030 kilocycles 2911 metres in the medium band.
Local reception was excellent. Re ports from further afield have nott yet been received.
Until such time as funds and staff are available, no great expansion off broadcasting is possible in BSI, and; no indication has been given by thea Government as to what developments may be expected.
The completion by radio statiom staff of a new transmitter capable oft broadcasting music merely shows what can be done if funds ever be-; come available.
Mr. K. H. Dalrymple Hay, oft Honiara, BSI, was a passenger by( Qantas plane on May 13 to Sydneys where he expects to remain for as month.
