Further research work will Be con¬ ducted By the applicant along these lines, and also the relation of television transmission to such factors as distance, field strength, fading, adsorption, as well as proBlems in antenna construction. The Examiner concluded the past activities of the applicant would indicate that sufficient laBoratory work has Been done to warrant tests under actual condi¬ tions; and it was further held the operation of the proposed station would not Be expected to cause interference to the other stations now assigned to the requested Bands.
