The Mawson Expedition
Sie DOUGLAS MAWSON’S exploration ship Discovery, which is now in Hobart en route to the south polar regions, has been fitted for the second occasion with Australian-designed and manufactured wireless equipment. This will permit of weekly broadcasts from the Antarctic, giving the Australian and New Zealand public details of the progress of the expedition. Arrangements are being made for the words of the explorers to be rebroadcast by the Australian stations so that listeners may hear them on the ordinary radio receivers. The equipment includes the latest type of shortWave radio apparatus designed to withstand the severe climatic conditions. Preliminary experiments and tests of the installation have proved highly satisfactory. The set may be used for either speech or Morse, and includes emergency apparatus if any unforeseen breakage should occur.
