The service was maintained throughout the year largely on long waves, VPS transmitting on 2,800 metres I.C.W., and Swatow on 900 metres C.W. Towards the end of the year tests were made to determine the possibilities of short wave communication and a certain amount of traffic was handled on short waves.
Swatow is a very busy station handling a large volume of military and Government traffic with stations in China. For this reason short wave tests which take a considerable amount of time have not been completed and are still in progress.
The rate to Swatow remains 30 cents per word for each station and the "Receiver to Pay" system is still in operation.
Forwarded traffic in January amounted to 614 messages; the figure rose to 916 in June since when the number has dropped to 378 in December.
Received traffic in January amounted to 357 messages rising to 513 in June and falling to 280 in December. The decrease is largely due to the restoration of landline and cable communication between Hong Kong and Swatow.
