Seward
Alaska i
J i f'umimied from P„ue One
iUnited States. The situation had
becomo intolerable and the War
Department finally reached the
j conclusion that the only solution
'would be to move the station some
I where else.
1 “However, this is the logical loca
tion for such a station as we have,” j
jsaid Capt. Woolverton, “and before
making any drastic move, the Seat- 1
; tie office asked me to thoroughly
j investigate every possible location
within a radius of 10 miles of Sew
*lard for a possible receiving station
j location where interference might
! be obviated or non-existent,
j “We tried many places and made
| many tests and I think I have
I found the place that meets the re
i quiremcnts. We will set up a new I
j receiving station a little ways east!
jot Porcupine on the Signal Station
l road and about two miles north of!
Seward proper. Here the conditions j
j are very good and should remain so j
if more electric motors do not get i
operating too near us.
“It involves quite an installation, j
We will have at ieast six complete
I receiving sets out there, in a build
ing moved to the new site, connect
I ed with the town headquarters by
15 pairs of circuits in a lead
j sheathed cable, run out along the 1
poles of the raildoad which kindly
| consented to co-operate with us. j
From the main line on the railroad !
' will be in town but their receiving
receiving hut. All the operators
wll be in town but hteir receiving j
apparatus will be out there, where
we will have a man constantly on
the job. in three eight-hour shifts 1
to care for batteries and keep i
watch on equipment.”
There is a map on the wall of
Capt. Wooiverton’s office with lines |
[strung to Barrow, Nome. Fairbanks, !
j lower Kuskokwim, far Unafaska,
Nulato, in fact all the government
j radio stations in Alaska with Sew- S
jard as the “nerve" center from .
I which communications hurtle thru [ I
I the air from all parts of the Terri- =
tority. At the same time Seward is ' =
possessed of a high-power sending B
plant at the head of the bay from |
which messages are sent to all |
tnese points. J§
“For years we have been trying to |
overcome “interference” in Seward |
and the best place we could find , |
was this station here on Sixth Ave- |
nue. But within the past three |
months the trouble increased to j |
such an extent that it was seriously < §
threatening the conduct of the i =
Government’s work. Much of this I =
could have been obviated had the j §
citizens consulted us when they | =
proposed to install new motors! j|
since it is possible to buy such a =
motor as will not create that inter
ference. I most earnestly urge that *H
future buyers of motors do consult §
us for our mutual benefit because !
we want to get the best results in
our work and, as I have said Sew
ard is a logical place for this sta
tion. It would certainly mean much
to the town if we had to move away
from here.
“I cannot express too much ap
preciation of the help I received
from some of your progressive citi
zens,” continued Capt. Woolverton.
“T. W. Hawkins, II. V. Hoben, Mayor
I. V. Ray, Judge Curtis Morford,
Father Markham, Tom Tessier,
Major Malcolm Elliot of the Road
Commission, General Manager Ohl
son of the Alaska Railroad and oth
ers turned to and helped solve the
difficulties.
DONATES BUILDING
“Father Markham donated the
buiidng that was moved out to its
present site and Mr. Hawkins help
ed pay for the moving while Tom
Tessier donated his services on the
job. Mr. Hoben had offered to give
us one or both of his pieces of
property to the north of the city
and even offered to build a house.
