1 Named by National Association of Broadcasters. |
(1) Is it essential to limit the number of broadcasting stations in order to prevent further congestion?
(2) If stations are to be limited in number, should the public interest, as represented by service to the listeners, be the basis for the broadcasting privilege?
(3) Should regional committees, familiar with the situation and needs of their communities, be established as advisory to the Secretary of Commerce in passing upon applications for broadcasting licenses?

1 Ice patrol, broadcast, etc. |
300 kc. (1,000 m.) | For radiobeacon, with a guard band of 125 meters below (to 343 kc.) against broad emissions and nonsimple harmonically modulated CW and of 52 meters above 1,000 meters (to 285 kc.). An exception of the 952-meter wave length assigned to Government use was approved. Where CW and simple harmonically modulated CW are employed, the 1,000-meter wave should be guarded by a frequency separation of 15 kc. |
375 kc. (800 m.) | For radiocompass, with a guard band of 70 meters below (to 411 kc.) and of 70 meters above (to 345 kc.) 800 meters against broad emissions and nonsimple harmonically modulated CW. Where CW and simple harmonically modulated CW are employed, the 800-meter wave should be guarded by a frequency separation of 15 kc. |
