The useful working period varies according to the time your,

In June we can work from 2 a.m. to 6 p.m.: this month we can

work from 9.30 p.m. to 6 a.mi.

The reason for the difference depends on the fact that the effect of sunlight is bad, especially in

the tropics.

All broken chafed, and damaged packages are to be left in the godown where they will be examined on 12th December at 10 a.m.

In winter, of course, the sunset is much earller, so the useful working period is consider- ably extended.

The evil effect of sunshine is at tributed to the ionizing action of the sun's rays on the upper atmosphere, bringing the Heavi side layer lower down, and ionizing the atmosphere below it fr regularly.

:

These short waves, instead of starting off over the surface of the earth close to the station (like long waves) and losing a lot of their energy in the surrounding country, such as Talmoshan and the Peak, shoot off upwards at an angle of about 40°, strike the Heaviside layer, and reflect down again, very much like the water from a garden hose.

Thus there is a certain area close to the station in which the cannot be heard. This in the only drawback to them that I know of.

Besides my own station, the G. P. O. operate very efficient ser- vices from Hongkong, working with Manila, Borneo, Indo-China, etc., which are used both for or dinary public traffic and for the weather reports from which the typhoon warnings are compiled.

Short Wave Broadcasting. The British Broadcasting Co. are also using short waves for ex- perimental programmes.

Their London programme is transmitted on three different wavelengths-firstly, about 360 metres, for receivers close to the station; secondly, about 1500 metres, for more distant receivers in England: thirdly, about 24 and metres, for the colonies Dominions.

This Inst

programme can generally be received in the Colony between the hours of 3-6 a.m. in summer and 10 p.m. td 6 a.m. in winter.

་

The receiver required. is fairly simple to handle, and costs about $200 to buy,

Of course, the hours are very Inconvenient: but I think that difficulty will be overcome in time, as there are indications that a wave of the order of 16 metres will get through daylight all right.

The ideal arrangement for an Empire broadcast system could be for an English station to transmit a succession of programmes at times suited to the after-dinner

With short waves, however, it is possible to use reflectors without having masts of undue height. The system employed is to have a row of masts with cross arms at the top, one end of which carries the transmitting aerial and the other a wire of the same length, to act as a reflector.

The result is that the wave is concentrated forwards into a beam which diverges at an angle of about 10%.
