Broadcasting

This file contains a survey of the possibilities for broadcasting in Muscat by the Chief Engineer of the Diplomatic Wireless Service Donald Bailey and related correspondence. The British see political advantage in providing Sultan Saeed Bin Taimur with a local alternative and antidote to Voice of the Arabs but want assurances regarding the type of content for broadcast before funding the scheme. The survey includes maps illustrating day and night transmission ranges and illustrated plans for a studio, an office, a transmitter building and a power house (4-5).
