TO PRIORITY GOVERNOR HONGKONG TELEGRAM NO, 648 OF 4 AUGUST.
YOUR TELMO 675: TELEVISION STATIONS,
1. BBC OPINION ON THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF CO-SITING NEV U H F
STATIONS WITH THOSE BELOMING TO TVB 13 MOT CATEGORICAL. FROM A
TECHNICAL VIEWPOINT ONLY, CO-SITING OF SEVERAL TRANSMITTERS OUTSIDE A CONURBATION IS NOT ESSENTIAL EVEN FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF VIEWER
CONVENIENCE, BUT STRONG ARGUMENTS FOR CO-SITING REST ON VIEVER
CONVENIENCE AND THE LIKELY DIFFICULTIES OF FINDING SITES FOR
SEVERAL TRANSMITTERS, EACH TO BE NO CLOSER TO THE OTHERS THAN ABOUT
ONE MILE. CO-SITING IS USUAL IN THE UK, TECHNICAL DATA FOLLOW BY BAG.
2. BBC ARE HARD PRESSED AT PRESENT. THEY SAY THAT A VISIT BY AN
ENGINEER WOULD NOT RESULT IN ANY MORE CATEGORICAL OPINION. IN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD YOU WISH US TO PRESS THEM FURTHER TO SEND ONE?
