LINDYS HAVE
KEPT TOUCH
With WORLD

NEW YORK, Aug. 7-tPj- There
have been long periods when their
countrymen had no word OF their
progress. but the radio operators
along the Lindbergh trail across
Canada toward the Orient have
been IN constant touch with the
flying vacationiSts.
Apparently these operators OF
isolated stations have not realized
the interest in the flight there Is in
the populous regions in the south
of their frozen outpoSts and so
have not bothered 10 relay the in
formation they obtained.
Forget TO Report
A message from Mrs. Lindbergh
has revealed that in fact they have
never been out OF reach Of civiliza-
ton II the men with whom they
communicated while on the wing
had thought TO pass the word along.
Pan American airways received a
message from Mrs. L.ndbergh at
Aklavik reporting that contact with
local stations had been made &C
cording to instructions. These in
structions. given Mrs. Lindbergh be-
fore she left New York, are SO de-
tailed that their observance means
that almost constant communica-
ton has been maintained.
Mrs. Lindbergh's instructions for
operating during the last part OF
the leg from Baker lake 70 Aka
vik, for instance. were as follows:
In Constant Touch
Have Churchill Vap listen for
you on % meters If after 10 a. m.
and "a if between 8 and 10 a. m.
Listen for Vap on % meters when
YOU are sending on 70 meters and
43 meters when you are sending on
"a meters, advising him which wave
TO send on. Nearing Aklavik you can
probably work Cordova NRA by
sending 10 him on % meters and
listening TO him on % meters. Also
Point Barrow car be worked when
nearing Aklayik by transmitting on
% and listening 10 him on 81
Similar instructions were given
Mrs. Lindbergh for each leg Of the
flight. and according to her mess
age she has been following instruc-
tions with success Yet there have
been long intervals without word
OF the Lindberghs here.
Radio engineers here, believe that
operators OF local stations commun-
icating with the Lindberghs have
failed to relay messages TO the out
er world.
Schedules Kept
Mrs. Lindbergh also reported she
was keeping the day and night
schedules for attempted communi-
cation with New York. This Sched-
ule called for an hours communi-
cation at II noon and two in the
afternoon, c. S. T., and at 6 and 10
in the evening.
No direct message has been pick
ed up here since the filters left
Baker lake and Mrs. Lindbergh was
instructed today to drop the aster-
noon tests.
The Lindbergh set Is the stand
ard equipment for transport
planes in Central and South Amer
lea and was placed on the Lind
bergh plane 70 experiment with
long range work. although in reg
ular service Il eve Is called on
for communication OF more than
500 miles. Under perfect conditions
IL Is supposed 70 have a range OF
about 1900 miles but on the Lind
bergh flight static has been so bad
that no long distance work has
been pOssible.
