casting service.
From his home-made transmitting
station at his country house, G. Mar
cuse. a business man, will broadcast
a two-hour program three nights a

parts of the Empire. He uses a
short-wave transmission, the wave
length being around 30 meters, and
the power is taken from the ordi

establish regular communication with
Australia, and three years ago he
transmitted between Oxford and
Harvard Universities.
