Any citizen of the United States is

In the United States today there are
probably more than $4,000 such sta
lions, owned and operated by young
sters of Z years (as the one owned
by Robert Garcia, Z year old son of
Allen Garcia, director for Charlie
Chaplin) to men of very mature years.
A great many professional and bust
ness men make this their hobby, and
it is certainly a hobby of which one
never tires, nor will one eve set
thru studying the various b.anches
OF it. Mr.. Lawrence Mott, Deputy
United States Fish and Game War
den, who resides on Catalina Island,
off the California coast, is IN ardent
radio enthusiast, having Installed at
his home powerful receiving sets, as
well as a radio telephone. He is
president of the C.. W. Club vi Am
erica, which is an organization Of IA
dio men who are owners ana nper-
ators of the latest addition to the
wireless family, continuous wave jCle-
legiaphy by means OF high powered
vacuum valves, such as are usetl for
reception, except that they are larger
and much more powerful in opera
ton.
If one We're TO make inquiry, it
would be found that dI;itT the ie-
cent war the men who vent 20 the
top OF the radio profession in the way
ious branches OF the service Uf Am
erican military organization were the
boys who had owned and operated
their own stations previously. These
men are today leaders in the field,
and there is no end Of the pcs2ibili-
ties of their opportunities, just as
there is no end to the possibilities
of radio itself.
Mr.. Dow. being one of those in Ha-
wall devoted to the study of radio,
well as being employed professions
ally in the same interesting role, is
preparations towards install
ing a CIV or continuous wave trans
that, while being OF very low
power as compared 10 the large com
mercial stations on Oahu, will be able
to work with mainland stations.
AS soon as possible, the amateur sta
lions on Oahu, as well as on the
other Islands, will be organized into
a relay route for private traffic to
and from the mainland to any of the
Hawaiian Islands. There will not be
any charge made for forwarding mes

and we hope to demonstrate to the
people of Hawaii and the mainland
that radio is a hobby well worth the
time of anyone, no matter how val
liable he deems his time. AT pres
emit on the mainland it is possible to
forward a message of this type to or
any city or town in the United
States to any other city or town. This
s made possible by the efficient CO.
operation of the many stations, under
supervision of the American Radio
Relay League, with offices in Hart
ord, Connecticut. The Hawaii Anna
eur stations will comprise a division
Of this organization, and it will be
possible to forward a message from
to New York thru this won
also says that some time before 1923,
lerful chain of stations. Mr.. Dow
ne will have a radio fone in opera
ion in Waikiki that may be heard
in almost any place in the Islands,
and it will be quite the vogue, as on
he mainland, to install a small but
efficient receiving station for the pur-
pose of listening to concerts, speeches
etc., from the ether. 1t will not be at
all surprising to find hat more radio
stations and radio phone stations will
be s%pringing up in the near future,
and Hawaii will be UP with the times.
