GREAT WIRELESS
PLANS ON THE
PACIFIC
SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. July 11—
While naval radio communication
across the Pacific during the last two
years* supplementing the Commercial
Pacific cable, has carried a greater
volume of trans-j'fwcific messages
than ever before transmitted* plans
have been approved that will increase
this volume to five or six times tin*
present capacity. Information con
cerning 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 trans
pacific cable* will he met by rad*o
transmission and congestion will soon
be a matter of the past.
Installation of automatic high
speed sending and receiving appara
tus at all high-power naval radio stat
ions* and thy opening of a second
transpacific radio circuit are. two o^‘
the main improvements that have been
made during the past two-years* im
provements* that* however, have been
guarded as war secrets. When detail
ed reports are made available of tin
amount of communication handled*
commercial and government* and com
plete assumption of transpacific com
munication by the naval radio during
periods when the cable was rendered
useless by breaks* the revelation of
service will come as a surprise to
those interested in transpacific com
munication* it has been learned here.
The present United States Naval
Radio Communication transpacific
service is maintained for commercial

work of San Francisco to Pearl Har
bor. Hawaiian Islands, from which
circuits are maintained to Funihashi*
.Japan* Cavite* Manila* which relays t<*
the Far East: Tutuila. C.uain* and o*h
or stations in the Pacific.
It is upon this circuit that auto
matic hitrh speed sending ami receiv
iu«r apparatus will be installed* increns
injr the transpacific efficiency five
or six times.
It lias l»oon necessary lor tin* nava
radio station at (luatn to servo as re
lay* between Cavite ami Pearl Harbor
but a short time ago improvements hv
means of subterranean antennae hav
permitted direct communication 1» *.
tween the Hawanan Islands and th1'
Philippines.
The use of subterranean antenna'*
used with excellent results on tin* A.*
lactic Coast, was just recently add I
to the naval radio communication ser
vice in the Pacific. Instead of lyV'
aerials- the antennea is placed a few
feet underground or in the water.
Another important feature of im
provement in transpacific radio ser
vice bring inaugurated at present is
remote control stations. 1 his moans
operating of the transmission by a
land telegraph wire the transmitting
key thn> being some distance from th *
transmitting aerials. The result is that
there being no interference by noise of
sending- the service is duplexed- mes
sag( s being sent and received at th •
same time.
Additional power has been authoriz
ed for this circuit- contemplating.in
stalky ion of a new power plant at Ca
vite* which upon completion will poi
nt it at least of cutting down one n*
lay; and a oOO kilowatt plant at tluam
with distant control which will permit
direct communication between San
Francisco • and Ciuam, thys eliminat
ing the relay at Pearl Harbor . In ad
dition the'transmitting station at
South City* San Francisco* will bo in
creased from f»(> to 100 kilowatts.
I he n**\t important development
will l>«» the establishment of a second
transpacific circuit to the north- from
1
a high power station at Kcyport* Wn.*
to St. Paul* Pribylof Island, to Russian
Island- Vladivostok; to the Marint s
Station* Peking* and Cavite. These
stations are all American radio stat
ions. The Russian Island station at
Vladivostok will be able to com mu m*.
cate in addition ' with Shanghai* a
French station; Omsk* and other Si
berian stations.
It is expected here that by Aug. 1 u
the northern transpacific naval radio
circuit will bt* in operation.
For more than four months the nav
al 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 the
have been congestion were when cable
trouble occurred and the unusually
large amount of traffic regularly
handled by the radio circuit was fur
ther loaded down by the volume nor
mally carried by the cable.
