A RADIO TALK
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
(Received this day at 9.25. a.m.) MONTREAL, October 26.
A Schenectady message says for over half an hour this morning, Schenectady talked with Sydney, and the conversation was re-broadcast. Efforts to make it a three-way communication with Java and here was not so successful, although General Electric radio engineers have been talking with Java frequently during the recent weeks. Once laymen who had been invited to take part in the demonstration got over the eerie feeling of carrying on perfectly normal conversation across ten thousand miles of space, they began by exchanging pleasantries with a Sydney engineer, McDonald. It was 6.34 this morning when a clear conversation was established, which was 9.34 at night at Sydney, and a cold, clear autumn morning in Schenectady and a mild spring evening in Australia. McDonald said: “ I hope next week to have the American Consul-General in Sydney at the microphone here to join in a demonstration like this.
