A committee working under the auspices of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research has been formed to study wireless communication in New Zealand. The committee consists of Mr. A.

Measurements will also be made of signal strength from Australia to investigate the causes of absorption and to decide the importance of meteorological factors.
