Fig. 3 (b) shows that there was relatively small db separation be-tween the 6-A noise distributions for 1930, 1932 and 1934 on the lowlatitude South American circuits but that the position of the curvesis reversed, 1930 being better than 1934. An examination of fieldintensit> data for these years indicates that this is due to a change innoise rather than to a change in signal transmission.
