OUT SET FOR
BYRD BROADCAST
NOMEHES TALK
NOME TO COMMUNICATE
WITH ADMIRAL BYRD
VIA COLUMBIA BROADCASTING
SYSTEM NOW HERE
Interviewing Robert Flagler,
radio technician for the Columbia
Broacagting Company, he informs
us that next Wednesday, July 11
at 3 p.m. libs been set for the
time to execute .the plan of talk
ing ria radio with Admiral Riclj
adr K. Byrd, who is situated in
close proximity to the South Pole..
Included on the program are
Alfred J. Lumen, manager of the
•Lomen Commercial Co. at Nome,
and G. R. Jackson, president of the
Miners and Merchants Bank and
also President of the Nome Cham
ber of Commerce.
Mr- Flagler states that this will
be the first time such, an experi
ment .has ever been performed*
At no time in the short life of
radio broacasting, has the spoken
word been sent via radio, from
■the two opposite poles, or the
neighbolioods thereof.
' As announced once before. Mr.
Flagler described the manner in
Which the broadcast would take
place, being relayed and retrans
ferred several times to Admiral
Byrd and return.
J. I. Anderson, of Teller, was
invited to spek over the same
program, but he finds he will be
unable to come to .Nome at this
time for that purpose.
Mr. Flagler, with the special
CBS equipment furnished him for
this trial. Is making daily testa
with Bolinos, California, from his
station aboard the cutter North
land. He has invited local ama;
tteurs In Nome and surrounding
country, to listen in if they de
sire. The tests are being carried
. <1 „ '
■on short wave of two different
meters. One meter 17 and the
■other meter 22. Bolinos call
* letters for these tests are W6XI.
Describing the purpose, he stat
ed that this was the first time
radio broadcast has beeu sent
out from the north. Of course
everyone in this section knows how
we receive broadcast here tfom
stations in the United States, Aus
tralia, Japan and several other
places. Now, Mr. Flagler states,
“ww want to test and see what
reception Is possible when the con
'dltlons are reversed and the
broadcasting set is placed in the
north and reception Is made In
the south. * At the same time,
-we will have a check-u^ on broad
■casting conditions between the
,south polar aud north polar re
gions."
Originally it was the plan to be
further north when the contact
with Admiral Byrd was made, but
now* the contact will be made
aboard the Northland off shore
v tfom Nfeue. * *y .
The publicly attached to hav
ing the " experiment made at Nome
»nd having two of Nome's lead
ing business teen, featured on the
program, Is gratifying.
It Is understood Mr. Flagler
■will return his work for the
Columbia Broadcasting System, as'
soon as this experiment is com
pletefl. He plans, it is under
stood, on taking the first boat
■south for Seattle.
