xrom some shipping company, one of whose vessels had drawn
a t tenoion to the existence of the station. The Government of
India had enquired whether, as this station and that at
Maidan-i-Baftun are situated m Iranian territory, it is any
longer necessary or desirable that they should use Indian
calx signs. lx, however, the Indian call signs are to be
retained, the Government of India would like full particulars
about the conditions on which the stations work, and the
necessary cecnnical particulars about frequencies, etc.,

Telecommunications Bureau, for any stations with Indian call
signs.
