 | Ships were equipped with radio, huge commercial stations were set up to handle intercontinental messages after the fashion of the telegraph companies, and many other uses were found for the new technology. |
| Thus, when the first government regulations were imposed on radio in 1912, the amateur operators ("hams"), whose interest in radio was personal and experimental, rather than commercial, got the short end of the stick. |
| Reber's radio astronomy work continued for a number of years, and his results were published in the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers, the Astrophysical Journal, Nature, and the Journal of Geophysical research. |
| Commercial Radio Australia National Radio Conference (1801 words) |
| The proposed reform of media ownership, as it relates to radio; the issue of new commercial radio licences; and how the Government is tackling radio fl spots I know are issues of particular interest to this audience. |
| The Government's $5 million Commercial Radio Blackspots Program is helping to provide new or improved commercial radio services to regional and remote communities where it has not been commercially viable for licensees. |
| This is a good opportunity to talk through some of the big issues facing commercial radio in the coming year and to come up with strategies to ensure that Australians continue to have reliable and ready access to high quality, diverse commercial radio services into the future. |
