1. The Hong Kong Communications Board, in conjunction with the British Joint Communications Board, has been considering the matter of siting a Communal transmitting and receiving station at Hong Kong, over a period of several months. Acting on information that the site at Ping Shan (ori inally proposed as a 1.A.F. airfield) was no longer required by the Air Ministry, and that the Ministry of Civil Avia ion did not plan to adopt this site, it was agreed to propose to the Hong Kong Government that a receiving station be installed at Ping Shan and a transmitting station at .ai Po.
2. This project comprises a large scale drainage and constructional programmae: and the choice of sites has been restricted singe it is nat desired to utilize ground under cultivation. 03 er considerations are: the necessity for a minimum of five miles separation between sites, the avoiding of screening from neighbouring hills, and the avoiding of inte ference from the transitting station with the receiving station. 3.. A signal has been received from the Hong Kong Communications Board stating that information now indicates that Civil Aviation is intrested in the Ping Shan site as a possible airfield,
4. It is requested that the Ministry of Civil Aviation will inform the British Joint Communications Board, as a matte whether
(a)
(b)
of urgency,
it is in fact proposed to establish an airfield or aircraft runways on the Hong Kong main land
the location and area of the proposed site is in the Ping Shan area.
