Abstract :
There may be many members of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) and readers of its Proceedings who are not fully acquainted with the CCIR. Since therefore the VJIth Plenary Meeting of this body was recently held in London, it may perhaps be an appropriate subject for discussion here. The principal value of the C.C.I.R. is that it brings to a common international point the latest information on good practice for radio services. If full use is made of this information and operators all over the world design and work their equipment accordingly, the maximum use will be made of that great asset of mankind, valuable beyond price, the radio frequency spectrum.
