Yunnanfu Station occasionally breaks down, which is probably the reason why the volume of traffic is not greater than it is. It is hoped to improve the service still further and to handle a larger volume of traffic.
A statement showing traffic exchanged between Yunnanfu and Hong Kong "Via Hanoi" and "Direct" during 1928 is shown below:-

This is largely due to the very large number of mutilations, heavy delays and bad service generally, apparently caused by misunderstanding and retransmission through French Indo-China. Bangkok now possesses a very fine short wave transmitting station and it is suggested that as soon as Hong Kong's new transmitters are installed steps should be taken to organise a direct service with Siam, which should prove both remunerative and useful. The total traffic on this service during 1928 amounted to 461 messages 3,829 words
5. MACAU traffic shows a decrease of 2,083 messages 22,856 words. The decrease is due to the fact that cable communication was restored in the early part of the year. The rate "Via Cable" is 10 cents per word compared to 20 cents per word “Via Radio". The "Via Radio" rate has since 1.1.29 been reduced to the same figure and a greater volume of traffic is anticipated.
