It is understood there is.little chance >f Australia’s beam wireless being in operation before four or five months, because considerable technical difficulties remain to he surmounted.

In this connection it is interesting to recall that the Government commercial service is going >ut night!/ from Hull Experimental station which" cost a more bagatelle, using one kilowatt 17 metres. Its messages are regularly picked up in China, Australia and New Zealand.

Experiments are proceeding at lie latter station to secure a complete elephonie secrecy. Progress so far ins been most promising.
