LOCAL STATION FAVORABLE
INDICATION.
RADIO EXPERTS ARRIVE
Kodiak Station May Be Abandoned
In the Near Future Says
Hubbard.
“The improvements which have
been authorized for the Seward Na
val radio station during the past
year would seem to indicate that
this station has a definite part to
play in the plans for future develop
ments in radio communictaion in
Alaska,” stated George S. Hubbard,
radio expert', shortly after the arriv
al of his party in Seward a few days
agd on the steamer Starr from the
Westward. Mr. Hubbard is reputed
to be one of the notable radio ex
perts in the U. S. Navy department,
and according to local report, upon
hi3 return to the Puget Sound Navy
Yard, will assume the duties of ra
dio expert, with supervision over la
boratories and designs. Mr. Hubbard
is no stranger to Alaska having first
visited the stations in the Territory
in 1916. Since that time he has made
frequent trips of inspections. He is
originally from the Mare Island Navy
Yard and during 1921 and 1922, was
manager of the Pacific Coast Radio
Corporation.
It is stated this trip will be his last
to Alaska, in his present capacity.
His work of checking over the Sew
ard station will occupy his attention
for probably a week longer, af the
expiration of which time he will de
part with his crew, for the south.
He is a gu pl at the Hotel O. > (and.
Ciu'.inuav, Mr, Hubcuvl stated to
the Gr *vay representativ :
‘The r aio engineering pc'tv has
;jst •v,:nrl<-ted the ins a ii’.on o' a
modern \ ;uuum transmiti^'' of high
power c Pribilof IsUum TLvs
.ransiivh er Joes the sam work the
former did on one-fifth of the total
power input, due to the increased ef
ficiency of the new type of equip
ment over the old.
“It is interesting to note also that
the equipment and material that W'ent
to make up the old transmitter, in
cluding the engines used as prime
movers, would weigh about twenty
five to thirty times what the new one,
just- installed, does. A set similar to
the one at this station was also in
stalled at Dutch Harbor recently by
my party. During our stay in Sew
ard we are conducting tests at the
station using extremely high fre
quencies. Many wonderful records
for transmitting messages over vast
distances have been made, both by
civilian and military experimenters,
during the past year, using wave
lengths of from twenty to 100 met
ers, corresponding to frequencies of
fifteen million to three million cy
cles. These records of three to four
thousand miles have been made on
the small amount of power corres
ponding to that used by seven or
» 4
eight ordinary seventy-five-wat light
bulbs.
It would be quite sate to prophesy
that within five years, the ‘high pow
ered’ radio station as it exists today,
with its high towers, .wide-spreading
antennae and great generators, will
be as »ut of date, as the "beaming
barfender’ who formerly shoved ‘’em
across the bar,” is today. In their
stead we will have small antennae
adapted to high frequencies and very
directive in their transmission.”
It was stated also, that one of
these modern transmitters was in
stalled at Kodiak station, but ow
ing to the probability that the Ko
diak station may be abandoned by
the Navy in the near future, installa
tion has been held up. It is also
learned that the Kodiak Baptist or
phanage is negotiating the purchase
of the property with the iqtention
of using the building which was de
stroyed -by fire last spring. In clos
ing, Mr. Hubbard said that he believ
ed the proposed abandonment of the
Kodiak station would place an added
responsibility on the Seward 'station
which will require added efficiency in
equipment and greater proficinecy on
the part of the personnel.
MEXICAN INJURED
AT MOOSE PASS BY
POWDER BLAST, DIES
ROAD WORKER DIES MONDAY AT
ANCHORAGE HOSPITAL—ON
JOB FOUR MONTHS.
Ralph Rugge, Mexican, aged about
35 years, died at the Anchorage hos
pital Monday, according to a report
received by The Gateway this morn
ing, from the effects of injuries re
ceived while engaged in setting off
powder charges on the Moose Pass
road project.
The Gateway published a brief ac
count of the accident some weeks
ago, at which time it wa3 stated the
injured man had been sent direct
to the hospital from Moose Pass. It
developed, during an examination,
that his skull had been fractured.
The accident occured September 24,
when after touching off eight powder
fuses, he sat down to split another
fuse. It is stated he had been cau
tioned on two previous occasions for
.being careless.
Ralph Rugge came to Seward from
Cordova about four months ago, and
had worked at Moose Pass since
that time. Efforts to locate relatives
or friends have thus far proven un
successful.
