Facts About the CAA
By CAA Communicatioirs Specialist
Kenneth B. Ruhle
(Second in a series of articles on
Civil Aeronautics Administration in
Alaska.)
The saga of the miracles of
vision and muscles required to
establish these stations in the face
of engineering problems elsewhere
unknown is a thrilling story in it
self, so this article is confined to
a non-technical description of the
operation of this variety of airway
communications facilities and ser
vices.
Fundamentaly, the system is div
ided into Fixed Aeronautical
Communications and Mobile Aero
nautical Communications. The
work of both types of service is
performed by the same group of
employees, known as Aircraft
Communications, and their equip
ment is maintained by Main
tainance Technicians. As we in
spect the various activities, we win
see what diversified skills must be
possessed by these various work
ers.
The Fixed service consists of
point-to-point circuits between the
44 CAA stations in Alaska, and be
tween Alaska and the U. S., Can
ada and Honolulu, and includes the
Service A, B. C. and F, networks.
The Service A net reaches all the
Alaska and some Canadian sta
tions, and is tied in with the over
seas circuits to Seattle and Hon
olulu and military circuits from
the Aleutians and Japan. It is
used for the collection and dis
tribution of hourly and special
weather reports and forecasts,
Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) con
cerning field conditions and fail
ures or changes in radio aids to
navigation, and administrative
messages incidental to the manage
ment of the entire system. Methods
of communication include the ob
solete manual radiotelegraph on
the circuit north from Fairbanks to
Betties, Umiat, and Point Barrow;
high speed Boehme and Klein
schmidt automatic radiotelegraph
which connects Anchorage, Fair
banks, Tanana, McGrath, Galena,
Nome, Aniak, Bethel, Iliamna,
Port Heiden. and Naknek;landline
teletype which extends from Anch
orage up tlie Alaska Railroad to
Talkeetna, Summit, Ncnana, and
NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION

Fairbanks, thence following the
| mgnways to tug Delta, ianacross,
Northway, Haines, and Juneau,
where it connects through the Jun- j
eau relay station to the Canadian
Department of Transport system.
Finally, there are the newest cir
cuits, the VHF (very high frequen
cy) radioteletypes which extend
| from Annette Island (Ketchikan)
up the coast to Juneau, Petersburg,
Yakutat, Yakataga, Cordova, Anch
orage, Kenai, Homer, and Kodiak.
VHF is the post-war answer to the
impossible problem of maintaining
landlines over the rough terrain
and trackless wilderness between
stations. Its principle is similar to
that of FM radio broadcasting, with j
the exception that the CAA CHF
stations and repeaters transmit, re-1
ceive, and relay up to eight tele
type signals and two voice inter-1
phone signals simultaneously. The
frequencies used limit the trans- (
mitting range to approximate line j
of sight distance, so numerous re
peater stations are required. They!
are not affected by static, and are |
relatively free from interference i
by other radio stations, since their1
signals are not ordinarily reflected
from the Heaviside Layer. Eventu-1
ally, VHF will replace all the out
moded circuits in the system.
There is also one low frequency |
radioteletype circuit, connecting
Galena, on the Yukon River; Una-,
lakleet, Moses Point, and Nome on
the Bering Sea; Kotzebue, on the’
edge of the Arctic Ocean; and Gam- (
j hell which is on the tip of St. Law-,
rent e Island about forty miles from !
Siberia.
At the majority of the stations,
the Aircraft Communicators take
hourly weather observations, in ad
dition to their operation of ihe1
point-to-point circuits and com
munications with aircraft. There
are also numerous “off airway”
weather reporting stations, manned
by Weather Bureau personnel or
part-time observers, who transmit
j their weather reports to the nearest
I CAA station for further distribu
tion.
The Service B network is used
primarily for the transmission of
flight plans, position reports, trai
fic control clearances, and airline
dispatcher’s messages pertaining
directly to flights of company air
craft. These circuits parallel those
of the Service A net, with the ex
ception that radiotelephone is em
ployed instead of high speed auto
matic telegraph.
The Service C network carries
map, radiosonde, and winds aloft
reports, which are needed by the
Weather Bureau in its preparation
of weather maps and forecasts.
'The Service F system is a net
work of voice interphone circuits
which connect stations and airline
and military operations offices with
the traffic control centers. At all
the major terminals, local teletype
and interphone circuits carry wea
ther and traffic information to the
military and airlines establish
ments, and provide direct voice
communication between the com
munications stations, traffic control
centers and towers, and dispatch
ers.

eration of such directional and non
directional aids to navigation as
radio range stations, markers and
homing beacons, instrument land
ing systems, and voice communi
cations with aircraft in flight.
The radio ranges send out direc
tional signals along the airways.
Pilots can follow their courses, or
“beams,” from one station to an
other, and can also use them in
the determination of their posi
tions when they become lost.
Around the clock, aircraft com
municators listen for aircraft calls
on several frequencies, and follow
the progress of each flight, prompt
ly initiating search and rescue pro
cedures if a flight fails to report
over a designated fix, or if it be
comes overdue at its destination.
They also deliver traffic control
clearances to the flights, and twice
hourly, broadcast the latest wea
ther reports, forecasts, and Notices
to Airmen from their own and nu
merous other stations. Each com
municator holds a certificate of
competency with an area rating,
which signifies that he has passed
stiff examinations in Air Naviga
tion, Radio, Meteorology, Civil Air
Regulations, Traffic Control, and
Flight Assistance Procedures, and
that he is thoroughly familiar with
the airways, aids to navigation,
landing fields, terrain, and normal
weather trends in an area radiat
ing 300 miles in every direction
from his station.
There are many instances on
record wherein a communicator's
skill and knowledge of his area has
been instrumental in the saving of
lives and property in the air.
INSTRUCTORS IN FARMING

and homesteads along the way.
They traveled by car along the

this area.
