Off for a round of the Cook Islands April, we heard from the Rarotonga ys that David Evaroa, a former post

war very active ZK-I man. mainly on CW, has again appeared on the air as ZL2ASJ after a long silence, on 7 mc/s CW. and also possibly on 3.5 mc/s.

Doug—ZK-l-AB, RI in the Cooks, also reported that Bill Jones, back at Aitutaki after several years absence in New Zealand, has been relicensed under his old call of ZK-l-BD.

Most listened-for Islands station in April was probably FOBAJ—a call under which a mobile maritime WO man was expected to appear briefly from ashore on Clipperton Island, which is apparently administratively attached to French Oceania—though it is far to the eastward of that group and only about 600 miles from the Mexico coast. The island Is believed uninhabited normally, and the WO is said to be attached to a Ashing vessel operating in that area.
