STATION 4RB. 4RB is a new experimental station recently heard on the air. This station is owned and operated by Mr. R. J. Browne, of Church-street, Toowong. Although having been on the air for only a few weeks, several interstate amateurs and one New Zealander have been worked. The power input is approximately 5 watts, with a plate potential of 220 volts. A 201A receiving tube is used as an oscillator, while the working wave length is 90 metres. The circuit used is the well-known three coil Meissner, utilising a periodic aerial tuning. Reports have been received from Northern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, all reporting signals easily readable. Reports from South Australia state that the strength is very good and much louder than any other Queensland station, while reports from Victoria and a few other Southern stations show that the strength is not so good. The following stations have been worked since 20/4/25:— New South Wales: 2HM, 2HT, 2YI, 2EM, 2RJ, 2WS, 2BV, 2ZN, 2GC, 2GR, 2UI, 2YX. Victoria: 3BD, 3EM. New Zealand: 1AA (Auckland).
