In addition he shall be required to show
(1) That the operation will be under the direct super¬ vision of a qualified engineer with an adequate staff of qualified engineers to carry on the pro¬ gram of research;
(2) That the program of research includes study of antenna design field intensity surveys and plans for an analysis of response of listeners;
(3) That the transmitter and all studios will be equip¬ ped so as to be capable of at least 10 kc. audio frequency transmission;
(4) That if sponsored programs are transmitted such sponsorship will not interfere with the program of research, and that the conduct of experiments will not depend only upon the sponsors as a means of defraying the cost of the experiments."

Following that conference the Commission made changes in its Rules and Regulations which will transfer all ser¬ vices allocated to frequencies between 1500 and 1600 kc, to other parts of the frequency spectrum. The frequencies between 15001600 kc were designated for general communication service:
