The Radio Listener’s Log 1929 -1930
Short-Wave Stations of the World in Telephony
Mr. F. W. SELLENS has compiled tile following very complete list of overseas stations. The majority of stations are not audible in New Zealand except under the best conditions, but it has been thought advisable to include all as a check for any reader being lucky enough to log one of the weaker ones. This list is brought up to date; it includes a number of new stations, also old stations with new call signs. It is very difficult to obtain reliable data. The following stations with their schedules where given are the result of searching through English and Foreign periodicals, information from correspondents, and personal observation and checking.
The times given are based on standard time in the various countries, all shown in New Zealand mean time. Summer time is observed in United States and Great Britain during the summer months and allowance must be made for that period.
Abbreviations :
M., Monday; T., Tuesday; W., Wednesday; Th., Thursday ; F., Friday; S., Saturday ; Sun., Sunday.
Note that the time schedules have not been included as they are too difficult to scan and edit.
