QSL card from Fiji Broadcasting Company verifying reception of
ZJV. In good condition.
The Fiji Broadcasting Corporation Limited is Fiji’s
national radio broadcasting service. It traces its history back to
1935 when it first began operating under license from the posts and
Telegraphs Department with the call sign ZJV.
The home of ZJV was in two rooms on the ground floor of the cable
and Wireless building (now occupied by FINTEL) in the capital Suva.
One room housed the medium wave transmitter and racks of gramophone
records while the other room was the studio with the announcer
sitting at a control desk in one corner. The transmitting aerial was
in the lawn between Cable and Wireless and the existing Suva Civic
Centre.
The power of the transmitter was 500 watts. It gave good reception
in Suva and in most of southern-eastern Viti Levu. Mountains and
distance produced fading weak signals elsewhere, but people
nevertheless listen in growing numbers during the station’s
breakfast, midday and evening sessions. Not surprisingly the sale of
receivers also grew as more people tune into ZJV.
