The total increases during the year 1928 are thus 1,541 messages 15,546 words.
The service was fairly well maintained throughout the year except for a few occasions when Hoihow's transmitter was out of action. This station is also experimenting with short wave transmission and reception with quite good results. Traffic is generally exchanged on long waves and sometimes on short waves when conditions permit.

The total increases during 1928 are thus 307 messages, 4,449 words.
The service is worked on short waves, Amoy transmitting on 45 metres and VPS on 31.75 or 49. The cable rate to Amoy is 20 cents per word against 30 cents per word charged by each wireless station.
(g) Services with Foochow, Nanning and Pakhoi were opened during 1928. The traffic handled on these services is negligible as it seems very difficult to instil the idea of punctuality or service into the minds of the operators at these stations. Arrangements made for routine communication are very often ignored and this leads to very heavy delays to any messages which may be on hand. However it is probable that improved services may be worked in the future. The Nanning and Pakhoi services were only opened in December; 4 messages have been exchanged on the first named service and 13 on the last-named.
