The first trial of equipment designed for 400 Mc./s. absolute flux density measurement was completed just prior to this symposium. Using the midday sun, the gain of a 7·5 metre Würzburg (equipped with a TE°11 circular wave-guide feed) was found by comparison with an ‘optimum’ pyramidal horn of 20·2 square wave-lengths aperture. Cable losses and signal powers were measured against the available noise power from two co-axial resistors, one at ambient temperature and the other stabilized at the boiling-point of pure nitrogen.
