(g) The "general inference" and a weather forecast for the district 'Hong Kong to Gap Rock' is broadcast in plain language by ZBW on 845 kcs. telephony at 0500 and 1200.
(h) Storm warnings are broadcast by VPS on 500 kcs. and by ZBW on 845 kcs. telephony on receipt, and at the two subsequent hours. They are also broadcast as above at every hour when a typhoon is definitely threatening the Colony.
(i) Shanghai and Manila storm warnings are broadcast by VPS on a 500 kcs. spark on receipt, and repeated after an interval of ten minutes. They are similarly broadcast by ZBW on 845 kcs. telephony when the Hong Kong local typhoon signals are hoisted.
V.-WEATHER TELEGRAMS, FORECASTS AND STORM WARNINGS.
26. Daily Weather Telegrams. In addition to the ordinary 0600 and 2200 G.M.T. observations, which the Cable Companies transmit free of charge, the 0300 and 0900 observations were received at half rates from the following stations:-
*Shanghai
Gutzlaff
Amoy
Macau.
27. The 0700 and 2300 G.M.T. observations from Fort Bayard, Phu-lien, Tourane, Cape Padaran and Cape St. James, and the 0300 and 0900 G.M.T. observations from the above and about 12 other stations in Indo-China, are received from Phu-lien on short wave. This service is very valuable and ensures the early receipt of the observations, and at regular hours, namely:—at 0115, 0400, 0830 and 1015 G.M.T. It also saves the expense of obtaining the 0300 and 0900 G.M.T. observations by cable.
28. Other valuable services are the 0600 and 2200 G.M.T. observations on 23 metres S.W. from Yangtze Ports, and several stations in N.E. China and Korea sent personally by Father Gherzi, S.J. of the Zi-Ka-Wei Observatory, and the 2100 G.M.T. observations from Pelew, Yap, Saipan and Ponape, sent on 286 kcs. from the Pelew Observatory at 0200 G.M.T.
29. The 0600 and 2200 observations from Hoihow are received by W/T occasionally.
30. The following new W/T services are much appreciated. 0600-2200 observations from Amoy, since February 2. 0300-0900--2100 observations from Taihoku, since June 8.
0600-2200 observations from Swatow, since July 3. 0600--2200 observations from Sandakan, since Aug. 1.
