AMATEURS IN WIRELESS.
[Per Press Association.l WELLINGTON, June 16. The Post and Telegraph. Department regulates tho use of wireless apparatus by amateurs by a system of licenses and permits. At present the Department is not issuing licenses, lhe issue of permits, which was suspended during the war, has only lately been renewed, but a large number have been applied for. An applicant for a permit haß to supply the Department with particulars of the apparatus he intends to use, and of his own telegraphic qualifications, for it is essential if ne is going to use valve receivers that ho can read warnings from business stations to amateurs to cease operating. This is necessary because valve receivers may discharge enough energy to drown faint messages coming into the aerials of other stations- The issue of permits, which can be withdrawn if the holders are found to be unsuitable, will enable the Department to gauge the nature of the wireless amateur community prior to tlie issue (■necessarily much more limited) of licenses.
