This is the latest move in a steadily improving service provided by the station under the management of Mr. Frank Exon and his small but active staff.
The station gave a particularly good coverage of the Coronation celebrations in June, not a single important event being missed. The new short-wave outlet provides good daylight reception in all parts of the Group.
To date, the morning and mid
day sessions have not been broad cast on the short-wave channel except during the Coronation period.
It is anticipated that the short wave transmitter on 3980 kc/s will, however, be brought into full use in July in parallel with the broad cast-band frequency of 930 kc/s.
