This series of photographs from a listener QSL card issued in 1934 shows, from L-R, the grand piano in the main studio, the transmitter building and tower at Victoria on Hong Kong Island, and a look inside the technical facilities which included a Q Marconi transmitter.
At the time, ZBW broadcast on 845kc on mediumwave with 2kw power from the hours of 11am to 2pm and 5pm to 10.30pm daily.
