'RELAY WORK. With the approach of relay work, two Sydney experimenters have had QSL cards printed, in order that work from distant stations may be recorded by them and the transmitter advised. The cards are the size of a postcard, and bear the call letters, location and power of the station receiving the message. Columns are provided for filling in the time the signals were received, audibility, and particulars of the receiving set. When the postcard is filled in it is sent to the transmitting station with a request that the operator report the signals of the station from which the postcard is sent. This system is to be adopted by the Relay League. ''THE MAGIC SPARK. RADIO NOTES & NEWS. Checking Wavelengths.''' BY DOT DASH. =======193303 33 3556 45 46/* 88 1924======= RADIOGRAMS. Mr. Marsden is to make a trip to the south-west of the state, in order to conduct experiments in certain reported "dead" areas. The N.S.W.-New Zealand tests close tomorrow. It is to be regretted that the competitors did not get the consideration due to them from their brother amateurs. Much of the good work was spoilt by interference from howling valves. The authorities, it is understood, are taking a serious view of the howling valve nuisance. Users of regenerative circuits will probably be closely watched, and anybody using such a circuit without the necessary permission is liable to be made an example of.
