RADIO TRAFFIC
HERE GROWING
Naval Station Does
Big Business With
Government

Brownsville is growing in import
ance as a radio center along with de-
velopment in other lines, according
to NJ. l.. Jarvis, officer in charge Of
the local naval radio station, located
In Fort Brown. Business handled in
November surpassed that Of all for
mer months in volume and the traffic
Is rapidly growing.
Lieut.. Henry l.. Pitts, district COM
munication superintendent Of the
Eighth Naval district, with headquar-
tiers in New Orleans has just been
trip. and before leaving expressed
work being done here. He visited
Isabel. Officer Jarvis and the per-
sonnet of the station here were CON-
%plimented in his report.
One of the most modern two kilo-
watt sets in existence has been in
stalled recently and the station for
the first time is performing the SER
vice for which it was installed pri-
marily-that Is communicating with
ships from the time they leave San
Diego, Calf, until they have passed
through the canal zone. This new
set is making wonderful records in
this line.
The 20 kilowatt set which was in
stalled here about two years ago for
the same purpose, but which never
did accomplish its mission success
fully, is TO be removed in the near
future. This set will be sent to the
factory for a complete overhauling
and then will be installed at Key
Port, Washington. This set when in
stalled was the most modern in ex-
i~stence, but SO rapid has been de-
velopment in the radio world that il
now Is not nearly 50 efficient as the
set which has replaced il.
In addition to working ships at
en-. the local station handles a heavy
traffic in government messages and
this work is growing rapidly. Mes
sages are handled for the depart
ment of war. immigration, customs,
post office and public works, for the
border patrol, the weather bureau,
the department Of agriculture and
other government agencies.
The last named department dur
ing the Valley shipping season prob
ably furnishes the station with its
heaviest regular schedule. Market
reports are assembled from all parts
Of the nation by representatives of
the state and federal departments ut
San Antonio These reports are
broadcast from the army station at
Fort Sam Houston and are picked up
by the Naval station here for use in
The Brownsville Herald and for the
publication Of r daily report by a
representative Of the department who
makes his headquarters at the
Brownsville chamber Of commerce.
This market service, suspended
owe the holidays, is to be resumed on
Jan. 3.
