Navy VIII Make Test of High Power

Washington, Oct 9-Arrange-
ments have been made by Officials of
the navy department to equip the pro-
posed high power radio station on the
lsthmus of Panama for an experiment
tai test before finally considering the
establishment of other stations provid-
cd for by congress at it's last session
congress authorized similar high
power radio stations in addition to the
one on the canal zone, on the Cali
forn1a coast, in the Hawaiian islands
IN Samoa, on the Island of Guam and
IN the philippines. 1t has been ar
ranged to have a thorough test made
between the high power radio station
on the Isthmus of Panama and the
new wireless station which has inst
been completed at Fort Movers. Va
1t is believed much valuable infor1na-
ton will be gained through the oper-
alton of the new line of stations be-
tween this city and the Philippines.
The site for the Panama has not been
selected, but a point near the center
of the canal zone at the level of
Gatun lake is being considered. Eff
forts will be made to the station and
the one to be erected on the Cali
fornia coast in operation by the time
Of the opening of the Panama-Pacific
exposition in 1915. An ideal site is
available on the beach near San Fran
cisco. Advantages of that site will
be it's proximity to the Notifications
near San Francisco and it's facilities
for wireless communication with the
Hawaiian islands
