of the Army at Washington, D. C., a
plan for the rehabilitation of the
Alaska radio stations, as a part of the
Washington-Alaska Military Cable &
Telegraph System, has been agreed
upon, according to the operator of the
local radio station.
This will include the replacing of
the present old and obsolete equipment
with modern transmitting and receiv
ing apparatus and the installation of a
new Signal Corps radio station at
Bethel.
CWT transmitters are now available
in some quantity and are to he fur
nished as follows:
No. 1. For ranges up to 8,000 miles
the 5 KW arc.
No. 2. For ranges up to 4,000 miles
the 2 KW arc.
No. 8. For ranges up to 2,000 mi let,
the Type SCli 123.
No. 4. For ranges up to >.900 miles;
the Type SCR 100-A.
No. 5. For ranges up to 500 miles
the Type SCR-130.
Of the stations in Western Alaska,
Holy Cross. McGrath, Bethel, St.
Michael, Kotlik and Livengood will re
ceive the No. 4 set, while Nulato, Idit
arod, Nome and Fairbauks will have
the No. 2 set, and Nome and Fairbanks
will be equipped with No. 1 set, n ad
dition to No. 2.
Owing to equipment being furnished
which will be consistent with the dis
tance to be covered in actual operation,
the costs of operating stations and of
maintenance will be substantially re
duced.
It is planned to begin installation of
the new equipment this summer, aid,
while stations along the Yukon will be
first to benefit from the replacement,
it is expected that the stations at
Bethel and McGrath should be estab
lished by the summer of 1923, although
the station at Bethel may be delayed
longer owing to the necessity of deter
mining upon a favorable site and fur
nishing a suitable building for the sta
tion and quarters for the operator.
However, since work is at last started
upon so long an anticipated project,
assurance is given that work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. To this
end the work will be carried on by two
construction parties, one of which will
be established in Eastern and one in
Western Alaska, It is planned to
begin work immediately upon the
opening of navigation in tb9 western
section. During the winter Wrangell
and Craig can be set right. The fol
lowing spring should see the Fairbanks
section under way and completed in
time to wind up before fall any work
remaining in the western section
