Abstract
WE have recently completed a survey of galactic noise over the southern skies at a frequency of 100 Mc./s.1. This, in conjunction with previous surveys by Hey, Parsons and Pnillips2 (64 Mc./s.) and Reber3 (160 Mc./s.), has been used to provide information on the distribution of material in our galaxy.
