Radio New Zealand International 
60th Anniversary 1948-2008
RNZI Mailbox Documentary Sep 01

[HCDX]
Listen to Mailbox on RNZI on Monday September 1 as David Ricquish of
the Radio Heritage Foundation looks at the history of shortwave radio
from New Zealand.

On September 27 1948, the shortwave division of the NZ Broadcasting
Service began broadcasts to Australia and the South Pacific from two
low powered war surplus transmitters located near Wellington.

In this special Mailbox documentary, you can hear how shortwave radio
started in New Zealand, including calls for a national shortwave
service as early as 1928.
[..]
Audio includes the famous birdsong interval signal that for many
years announced the arrival of a RNZ shortwave broadcast, the opening
announcement by the Prime Minister of the day, and an excerpt from
the most popular program in the early days, 'Song and Story of the
Maori' broadcast in 1949.

[..]
Visit www.rnzi.com for shortwave frequencies and times and to
download an audio on demand version of the program that will be
available throughout September, the anniversary month. A second radio
heritage documentary on September 15 will continue to celebrate 60
years of service to the Pacific by RNZI.

At www.radioheritage.net you can read an article celebrating the
first broadcasts from Radio New Zealand, the original shortwave
service in 1948. Look for 'Radio New Zealand Signs On' to see details
of the original programs, technical information about the original
station and more history of the station.

For more information about early days of broadcasting in the Pacific
including stories and images and the popular Art of Radio Hawaii
online exhibition, visit www.radioheritage.net today.[HCDX]

73,
Paul
