'' The wireless operator in s.s. Karoola has reported that when his ship was off the north-west coast of Australia he received clear messages from an English low-power station in the North Sea ; which were transmitted on the ordinary short-range wave length of 600 metres.

These receivers were originally designed by the company's managing director (Mr E. T. Frisk) for demonstrating the possibility of receiving messages in Australia direct from the Marconi Station at Carnarvon, in Wales. High prices upset the purse—'tis hard to make ends meet.
