Buenos Aires Expected to
Be Ready This Year.

New York. - High-power wireless
stations OF the Radio Corporation of
America will be completed this year
at Bogota Bay, Colombia, and in Cuba,
and the great Buenos Aires station
will be in operation in mid-1023, says
f. J. Nally, president of the company,
who returned a few days ago from
conferences in Europe at which a
working agreement was reached among
the great wireless companies of Eng
land, France, Germany and America.
From any part Of the United States
wireless messages may be relayed
speedily to Buenos Aires, South Africa,
Java, Calcutta or Melbourne, when the
radio building programs of the great
American and European countries are
completed. At present France has the
most powerful station in the world In
the American-built Lafayette towers
near Bordeaux, but this will be super
seded by the end of this year by the
Port Jefferson station of the Radio
corporation, which will be the most
powerful station in the world. The
Assise, near Paris, will he second.
The British wireless chain connect
Ing England with the empire will have
one station comparatively close to
Argentina, and that will be the sta
tlOn at Bathurst, in Gambia, on the
extreme western point of Africa,
where the continents of Africa and
South America make their closest ap-
proach.
1.-The stations of the Radio corpora
tion in Cuba and Colombia are prac-
tically completed" said Mr.. Nally,
"and are waiting on the completion of
all the towers at Port Jefferson before
going into service. That will take place
in December. Relaying from New York
10 Cuba, to Bogota and then TO Buenos
Aires will be possible, but will be used
only as an auxiliary system. When the
Buenos Aires plant is completed next
summer II will send to and receive
from the Port Jefferson station direct"
All of the great systems will use diff
ferent wave lengths and avoid inter.
ference, according to the agreement
reached at the conference abroad, fol-
the use Of similar wave lengths would
reduce to confusion high-pOwer wire
less communication all over the world
The British colonial chain Of wireless
stations is described as follows by l.
w. Austin, head of the United State:
Radio Research Laboratory, in a com
munlcation to The Journal of thu
Franklin Institute:
unlike the plans for communicating
over vast distances by means of hug
stations, the imperial committee
headed by Sir Henry Norman. hal
recommended that stations of onl!
moderate power be used, spaced at dis
tances of not more than 1900 nautica
miles, the intermediate stations actini
as relays for the more distant
There have been heated discussion
in England regarding the relativ,
merits of the high-power, long -distanc
transmission systems in comparison
with the moderate power, intermediat
relay systems. There can be 10 doub
that the system of intermediate sta
tiOns will give by far the most reliabl
communication, largely on account o
the small variability of signal intensit
at shorter distances. And probabl
for government purposes, where re
liability is of more Importance tina
