With a principle forecast on paper
40 years ago, radio engineers are
making it possible to communicate

their bearings. Sometimes crashes

weather" and pilot error" often
are synonymous with static.
Ultra short radio waves-which
are ordinary short waves cut down

Forecast BY Englishman.
The history of short radio waves
goes back to the closing years Of
the last century. when Clark Max.
well, an English scientist. fore
cast the existence of what he
termed space waves. His conclu-
sions were based on pure mathe-
matical formulas.
An English scientist disagreed. To
prove Maxwell wrong he put a
subordinate. Heinrich Hertz. to work
on the problem. Instead Of lending
weight to the Maxwell arguments.
Hertz discovered the existence Of
the space waves.
When Marconi began experiment.
ing with radio in the late 90s he
used longer waves because the
length Of the impulse. he found. had
definite relation to the distance
he could send his messages.
So the short waves went into the
limbo of interesting. but useless
discoveries, until the hams of radio
communication. the amateurs who
constructed sets in cellar and attic,
adopted them.

Today the ultra-Short waves,
which roughly are all frequencies
from 10000 vibrations = second on
up to infinity, help guide airhners
into the Indianapolis and Pittsburgh
airports. The installation, IS yet,
is only experimental.
