The new 10-kllowatt broad casting station at Nukualofa, Tonga, commenced test trans missions in February.
Judging by the excellent signal strength reported from Auckland in the early evening, the station is going to be very popular with the many Tongans living in New Zealand as well as with those at home.
The station, which is operat ing on 1020 kc/s in the standard broadcast band, has been given the call-sign ZCO.
It was first heard in Auckland on February 22 with a test pro gramme of recordings. The station closed down at 0800 GMT (9 p.m. Tonga time, 8 p.m.
Suva time) with the Tongan national anthem.
Announcements made in Tongan and English requested reports from listeners every where.
