NAVAL RADIO
BUSINESS TO
BE EXTENDED
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 (by As
sociated Press).—While naval radio
communication across the Pacific dur
ing the last two years, supplementing
the Commercial Pacific cable, has car
ried a greater volume of transpacific
messages than ever before transmit
ted, plans have been approved that
will increase this volume to five or
six times the present capacity. In
formation concerning these proposed
improvements revealed here, Indicates
that the fast-expanding demand for
commercial communication facilities
which have led to plans In Japan for
a new transpacific cable, will be met
by radio transmission and congestion
will soon be a matter of the past.
Installation of automatic high speed
sending and receiving apparatus at all
high-power naval radio stations, and
the opening of a second transpacific
radio circuit are two of the main im
provements that have been approved.
Vast strides in radio transmission
have been made during the past two
years, improvements that, however,
have been guarded as war secrets.
When detailed reports are made avail
able of the amount of coraunication
handled, commercial and government,
and complete assumption of transpa
cific communication by the naval radio
during periods when the cable was
rendered usless by breaks, the revela
tion of service will come as a surprise
to those interested in transpacific com
munication, it has been learned here.
'fhe present United States naval
radio communication transpacific serv
ice is maintained for comercial work
out of San Francisco to Pearl Harbor,
Hawaiian islands, from which circuits
are maintained to Funibashi, Japan,
Cavite, Manila, which relays to the
Far East, Tutuila, Guam and other
stations in the Pacific.
It is upon this circuit that automatic
high speed sending and receiving ap
paratus will be installed, increasing
the transmission efficinecy five or six
times.
it nas Deen necessary ior me navai
radio station at Guam to serve as relay
between Cavite and Pearl HarbOr, but
a short time ago improvements by
means of subterranean antennae have
permitted direct communication be
tween the Hawaiian islands and the
Philippines.
The use of subterranean antennae,
used with excellent results on the At
lantic coast, was just added to the
naval radio communication service in
the Pacific. Instead of high aerials,
the antennae is placed a few feet und
erground or in the water.
Another important feature of im
provement in transpacific radio serv
ice being inaugurated at present is re
mote control stations. This means op
erating of the transmission by a land
telegraph wire the transmitting key
thus being some distance from the
transmitting aerials. The result is
that there being no interference by
noise of sending, the service is du
plexed, messages being sent and re
ceived at the same point.
Additional power has been author
ized for this circuit, contemplating in
stallation of a new power plant at Ca
vite, which upon completion will per
mit at least of cutting down one relay;
and a 500 kilowatt plant at Guam with
distant control which will permit di
rect communication between San Fran
cisco and Guam, thus eliminating the
relay at Pearl Harbor. In addition the
transmitting station at South City, San
Francisco, will be increased from 60 to
100 kilowatts.
The next important development will
be the establishment of a second
transpacific circuit to the north, from
a high power station at Keyport, Wash
ington; to St. Paul, Prlbilof islands;
to Russian island, Vladivostok; to the
Marines Station, Peking, and Cavite.
Those stations are all American radio
stations. The Russian Island station
at Vladivostok will be able to com
municate in addition with Shanghai, a
French station; Omsk, and other Si
berian stations.
The Russian Island station for some
time past has been copying govern
ment matter from the Point Loma, San
Diego station although unable to reply,
owing to incompleteness of the trans
mission set. Just recently, however,
the transmission set was reported in
operation sufficiently powerful to com
municate regularly with Peking and
Cavite.
It Is expected here that by July 1,
the northern transpacific naval radio
circuit will be In operation.
For more than four months the
naval radio circuit has been handling
all communication between Guam and
*
the Philippines owing to a break In
the cable, between those points.
Radio communication, commercial
and government, has been in operation
regularly to the Orient for more than
two years, and the only times there
have been congestion were when cable
trouble occurred and the unusually
large amount of traffic regularly
handled by the radio circuit was furth
er loaded down by the volume normal
ly carried by the cable.
