6. All communications must be conducted in plain language and must be limited to messages relating to the experiments and to remarks of a personal character for which, by reason of their unimportance, recourse to the public telegraph service would be out of the question. The licensee is absolutely forbidden to transmit communications on behalf of third parties or to use the station for social or political propaganda.

7. The station may only be operated by the licensee or his duly qualified operator. In the event of an operator other than the licensee operating the apparatus the licensee will be held responsible for the correct operation of the station. The licensee may at any time be called upon to satisfy the Postmaster General or his duly authorised officer, of his qualifications.

8. The station shall be subject to the control and approval of the Postmaster General, and, together with the record of transmissions, shall be open to inspection at all reasonable times by officers of the Government duly authorised by the Fostmaster General, and this licence shall be produced to any such officer upon request by him.

NOTE:-Duly authorised officers will produce their cards of identity upon request.

9. The International Telecommunication. Convention of Madrid 1932 and the Regulations annexed thereto, apply to Amateur and Private Experimental Stations. The licensee must be and keep him- self conversant with these.

NOTE: The above Condition applies to reception as well as trans- mission.

10. Reception by either the station or the portable set shall be limited to receiving transmissions sent for experimental purposes from a duly authorised transmitting station recognised as such by the Hong Kong Government, or sent by a duly authorised wireless telegraph station, or wireless telephone, or visual Broadcasting Station, and specifically intended for general public reception. If any other message is unintentionally received the licensee shall not make known, or allow to be made known, its contents, its origin or destination, its existence or the fact of its receipt to any person (other than a duly authorised officer of His Majesty's Government, or a competent legal tribunal), and shall not reproduce in writing, copy, or make any use of such message, or allow the same to be reproduced in writing, copied, or made use of.

11. The publication or reproduction of any message or broadcast received by means of the apparatus, or of the sense or meaning of any such message or broadcast, by any means or in any manner what- soever without the express permission of the Postmaster General is strictly prohibited.

12. The licensee shall not allow the portable set to be worked by any person other than himself or his duly qualified operator, and this licence, or a duplicate, shall be carried by the person working the portable set.

13. Neither the station nor the portable set shall be used for reception in such a manner as to cause interference with the working of other stations. In particular, reaction must not be used to such an extent as to energise any neighbouring aerial.

14. Any alterations to the addresses specified in this licence must be notified to the licensing authority and the licence presented for correction. No fee is payable for this.

NOTES:-1. If it is desired to continue to maintain the station or to retain possession of the apparatus after the date of expiration of this licence, a renewal must be effected not later than the date of expiration. Heavy penalties are provided by the Ordinance for main- taining a wireless station or possessing the apparatus without a valid current licence.

2. This licence may be cancelled by the Postmaster General at any time, either by notice in writing addressed to the licensee at the address specified in this licence, or by a general notice in the Govern- ment Gazette, or in such other way as he may think fit. Any con- travention of any of the conditions of this licence may cause cancella- tion of the licence.
