Schenectady-Frisco Radio Sets Record




















Schenectady-Frisco Radio Sets Record

Air Phone Standards Raised by Use of Short 360-Meter Wave, Three and One-Half Kilowatt Power

SAN FRANCISCO.— A new Radio telephone record was announced today. For four hours one night recently. a powerful sending station of the WGY, at Schenectady, New York, conversed and sent music to the Rock Bridge Radio receiving station of the Atlantic-Pacific Radio Supply company.

The record was all the more remarkable because of the fact that it was made on the short 360-meter wave length and with only three and one-haft kilowatts of power used in transmission.

Unusually delicate amplifiers were used in the receiving sets making the test successful.

From the April 22, 1922 issue of Radio Digest Illustrated.
