The committee recommended that "it is of upmost importance to improve the technical quality of the radio service immediately. This can be accomplished by securing a consulting engineer to evaluate and establish an adequate transmitting service. The Low Power Broadcasting Company, a major concern of the closed circuit broadcasting specialists, should be obtained at the expense of the radio service.
