CAA Radio-Beam
Station at Nome
Is Completed
Completion of the installation
i of the radio-beam station by the
Civil Aeronautics Authority at
Nome brings to mind that it
wasn't so many years ago when
Nome didn’t even have a landing
field.
J H Washburn of the CAA who
had charge of the installation
here since early fall is leaving
Nome Wednesday following com
pietion of the station. He will be
followed sometime before spring
by official testers of the beam
who will conduct tests and place
the station in active operation.
,It is understood that one or two
planes have contacted the beam
during its tuning days and have
found that it performs wonder
fully. When placed in. full opera
tion, planes flying into Nome will
depend on its directional power
in bringing them to the airport.
It wasn’t very many years ago
when Noel Wien now head of
the Wien Alaska Airlines and his
late brother Ralph Wien brought
a large Fokker monoplane to
Nome and landed at Fort Davis
on the sandspit.
Those were the days when
there was no organized system of
weather reports for airplanes nor
were there properly equipped
air-fields for landing of aircraft
in this section. Sandbars, spits,
level spots on tailing-piles were
utilized with a prayer.
Today Alaska’s systems of
fields and airports, its weather'
reporting system, communica- j
tions, and now radio-beam flying
have brought the airplane to a
highly scientfic means of trans
portation with the growth of air
safety measures for the protec
tion of the traveling puplic and
the operators.

Rumors to the contrary, there

covered following a checkup on

a good season for weddings but
