C., FRIDAY, RADIO WILL CARRY - [EPPELIN'S STORY Announcer Aboard “Graf” to| Tell of Trip Through Short Waves. BY MARTIN CODEL. Something sensational in the way of broadcast programs is promised by the Columbia.Broadcasting System when the Graf Zeppelin nears the American shore on its forthcoming voyage from Germany. A radio announcer aboard the giant dirigible will describe the trip over the chain as soon as short- wave contact can be “estatlished be- tween the airship lnd Station WABC, New York, the “key" station of the net. work. The novel feature is being spo sored by the oil company furnishing motor oil to the Graf Zeppelin. Frank E. Nicholson, author, has been engaged as the first such flight corre- spondent in radio history. During the first lap of the voyage from Friedrich- shafen, because of the extreme unlike! hood of getting voice through with the low power employed by the Zeppelin's transmitter, Mr. Nicholson will trans- mit his accounts in code. These re- ports will be read over the Columbia network as fast as received, furnishing the radio audience with a running story of the flight. After the airship passes the 40th meridian, or just about in mid-Atlantic, the Columbia engineers hope to be able to pick up Mr. Nicholson’s voice and relay it over the nation-wide network. ‘This will be repeated as often as recep- tion conditions make the pick-ups with good quality possible. Establish Six Stations. It is more than likely that the voice will not come through well until the Zeppelin actually nears the American shore. Six short wave receiving stations are being established as standbys for the Columbia network, each connected by direct wire with the WABC studios | in New York City. To add to the novelty of the unpre- cedented broadcasting feature, the Co- lumbia system has also engaged the MAY 10, 1929. Bell laboratory's famous radio-plane to| meet the Zeppelin about 25 miles out | ll sea. A two-way conversation will| be carried on between a man in the plane and Mr. Nicholson nbond the lh‘shlp ‘This conversation will also be relayed over the chain. ‘This unusual use of the short waves for code communication during the early stages of the Zeppelin's second transatlantic trip and voice transmis sion during the latter stage again em- phasizes the vast possibilities of the short waves, or hlrh frequencies. It will be by those newly developed channels that all press messages will be dispatch- ed from the airship. The United States Navy will use short waves to maintain contact with the German airship from the time it departs until it berths at the Navy base at Lakehurst, N. J. The radio equipment has been in- stalled on-the Zeppelin since its last trip to the United States. The Tele- funken Co., Germany's great radio con- cern, has installed both long and short ave apparatus, insuring the possibility | of using ide range of wave lengths. The signals and voice from the dirigibl will probably be heard direct by man American amateurs. The call letters to be employed are DENNE. Rebroadcast a Success. i Along with the revelation of Colum- | bia's plans for relaying a man's vole for the first time from an airship to the | | average loud speaker, an announcement | comes from the General Electric Co. | short-wave experimental station nea | Schenectady that radio engineers there | recently completed another experiment | showing the vast possibilities of the | short waves. ‘This was a rebroadcast that took l! program by relays three times across the Atlantic. The General Electric en- gineers, listening to a short-waye pro- grame from Station PHL in Holland, rebroadcast it through the Schenectady Station W-2XAF; then Station G-55W, the British Broadcasting Co.'s short- wave transmitter at Chelmsford, Eng- land, tuned to the Schenectady station and rebroadcast the Dutch program at Schenectady. The engineers listened to the program come back across the At- lantic the third time all in the space of about one-twenty-fifth of a second. Another demonstration of short-wave Radio Trouble?

Its listeners were able to hear a running description of a prize fight that was llklnwa in London. This was transmit short waves from Chelmsford and re- broadcast after being picked up by the Schenectady station. The American audience heard the British. announcer refer to “intervals” instead of rounds and announce the “termination of an interval” at the gong. The crowd. noises were quite distinct.
