LINKING AUSTRALIA AND AMERICA. SUCCESSFUL TESTS. Press Association —By T«s!*fieph—Oopyriga* MELBOURNE, June 21. Mr H. R. Love, chairman of the Victorian branch of the Wireless Institute and of the Trans-Pacific Committee, at a meeting of the institute, announced the results of American tests. He said the distance averaged 13,800 miles. A short wave length and low power were used, and 23 stations involved; yet a message despatched on May 17 was word perfect. Mr R. Hull, who conducted the tests in New Zealand, stated that the tests were eminently successful. Two-way communication Bad been employed, and the messages were as clear as those of the commercial stations, though the commercial stations were 1000 miles nearer and were using 150 times the power. Mr J. Court, a delegate to the Broadcasting Conference, said a movement was on foot to contest the proposed regulations, and if it proved successful the regulations would he revised.
