Nine ComOp and five ComTech(G) positions were added to the 1 Wing establishment to provide for personnel to operate and maintain the Single Side Band communications facility.

Adjustments were made to 601 Telecommunications Squadron establishments on the transfer of the unit from 2 Wing to Metz where it is occupying premises formerly used by 61 AC&W Squadron.

Technical

A proposal to modify the micro-wave linking CFN stations was considered, in order to improve the quality of transmission to the Wing Stations. It was decided to defer action on this proposal pending a survey of an associated problem that of land-line connections terminating the microwave facilities. Such land-lines are telephone pairs of limited frequency response, and modifications of the microwave without replacement of these landlines by shielded cables would be a waste of money. Replacement of the cables, however, would be expensive, and the two problems must be considered together.
