area was reported in the last

Davis stated:
“The work is in connection with
a territory-wide project to deter
mine the electrical constants of
the ground at radio frequencies.
Measurements are made by

local CAA transmitter as the air
craft flies at low altitude away
from the range station.”
He said that this work has
been in progress for a year.
