4AT not heard on 10 metres in South Australia
   AMATEUR NOTES. LOW-WAVE CONTACTS. By "QRA." The conditions on 10 metres still remain fairly consistent, and in Melbourne and Sydney contacts were made easily. Fading conditions on 40 metres have been very severe on most evenings of late, and at times inter-State contacts were not possible. Consequently there has been a scarcity of signals of any great strength in inter-State or DX station on the higher band, and a number of prominent amateurs were not heard much at all. Some of the local men have forsaken the key, and are using the microphone again on 200-metre telephony, and several compare favorably with the older stations on this band. VK3WL recently made the first Melbourne to Sydney contact on the 10-metre band this season by communicating with VK2TW. VK2TW (Tom Bushby) of Bulli, New South Wales, mentioned above, is an enthusiastic radio amateur, and has tried 10 metres for some considerable time without success until now. VK4RB, of Queensland, who has worked W6BAX of U.S.A., on four occasions, says that during tests carried out on 10 metres he has found DX to be better on that band when the conditions were wet. VK's 3RJ, 3GO, 3BQ, 3PA are best known among the active Victorian amateurs working on 10 metres. VK's 4XN, 4RB, 4AT are working on 10 metres, but have not been heard up to date.
