ARRANGEMENTS FOR NEW COASTAL SERVICE

A notice to wireless telegraph operátous has been issued by the Board of Trade regarding the operating arrangements for the new wireless telephone service between the marine wireless stations round the coast of the British Isles and ships in home waters. The arrangements, it is stated are provisional and subject to amendment in the light of the regulations adopted at the forth coning International Radio-telegraph-Conference at Madrid. Ke Board of Trade notie states working with the shore is 1,945 kes, that the charge applicable to radio. (162.0m.) and for intership calling telegrams exclminged betwren Bri- and working 1,550 kes.

HAVE YOU HEARD THESE?

Here are lata of long-waT4. and short-wave stations which should be picked up by anyone in Hong Kong who has a mode- rately good set suitable for r16- ceiving such signals, Success In picking up these stations also depends very largely upon lay- ourable atmospheric conditions. Readers are invited to add to this list should they succeed in picking up any staiton not in- cluded in either of these fists.
