New Broadcasting

Station for Noumea

NOUMEA, which has been broad casting only in the tropical short-wave bands in recent years, has recently come on the air with a station in the standard broad cast band on 1400 kc/s, power 1 K/w.

Broadcasting hours are 0700 to 1030 GMT daily, that is, 5 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. in New Guinea and 7 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. in Fiji.

Reception is good as far distant as Auckland, so coverage in the Islands should be fair, too.
