An interesting experiment in short wave broadcasting, will be cariied ou in Antarctic waters bv the wlial ng.s ip Neilsen Alonzo. It is intended o broadcast musical programmes from the whaling vessel, and when Sir George •Wilkins comes aboard m the Ross .bea for supplies, lie will give a talk on hi s experiences "over the air. _ Special apparatus has been install aboard the whaler for the purpose or carrying out this broadcast and tne transmission will be picked up by Australian stations and rebroadcast. COMMANDER BYRD'S OUTFIT. Included in the apparatus which Commander Byrd is taking on his expedition, are five portable transmitters with batteries, encased in wool-lined boxes. To avert the possibility of disaster, Commander Byrd has devised a

system whereby each of the exploring parties, whether travelling by aeroplane or by dog sledge will remain in constant communication with the base and _supply ships. Tfife sets have been specially designed for this arduous work, . possibly ... at temperatures as much as_ 75 degrees below zero. They will derive po'wer from dry batteries. TEN METRE EXPERIMENTS. During the past six weeks a series of tests have been carried out on ten metres by American and Australian amateurs. ■ These tests have been fairly well received in New Zealand, although the Australians are very weak. Trans-, mission is. very unreliable, however, and'much will need td be done before any material good is accomplished, f
