GOOD RESULTS ACROSS TASMAN SEA. GREAT HEIGHT NOT ESSENTIAL. r Br Telejraph-Preu Association-Copyricht. i Sydney, March 1. The operator who received H.M.S. •. Powerful's message on Friday again picked s up the flagship last night lying in Aucks land Harbour. Some of the messages - were indistinct, but two—one of about a s dozen words—were received, quite plainly. 1 The latter was received about 11.20 i o'clock. The successful operator is Mr. a Pike, of ■ tho Works Department. . f Mr. Hcskctt, Chief Electrical Engineer j of the Federal postal service, considers f Mr. Pike's detector will prove valuable as a moans of extending tho range of a i given plant with a given expenditure of [ energy. Mr. Pike's use of an aerial wire i only fifty feet high showed that great ■ aerial height was not essential to the • successful receiving of wireless messages. : A. noticeable fact, added Mr. Heskett, ! in connection with Mr, Piko's apparatus, . was that the. best results were obtained late at night. That tallied with the ex-' , periences of tho Naval authorities.
