Masters of their ships, and transmitted by the latter to the Shipowners, who will
forward the reports to the Board of Trade, London. Reports from ships registered in
Canada should be forwarded to the Canadian Department of Marine. It is particularly
desired that ships listening for, but failing to receive, the test messages, should render blank
returns, giving, if possible, any reasons for non-reception.

AREA 11.--NOTE.

Marine Department, Wellington, N.Z.

With reference to paragraph 3 and Schedule above: In Area 11 messages from the
stations named therein will be broadcast at 0130 and 0945 G.M.T. (1.0 p.m. and 9.15
p.m., New Zealand standard mean time) and at any time when the ships with one
operator are keeping watch.

These stations, being 600-metre (500 kc/s) stations, will not broadcast "test"
messages (vide para. 1).

Messages for ships in any area may also be broadcast from Rugby at 0000 and 1200
