“Hello, Australia!”
RADIO-TELEPHONY SOON Big Possibilities of 1928 By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. Received 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. THE possibilities of 1928 include wireless telephony to Australia. The date depends on the result of the Marconi experiments, the apparatus for which will not be completed till the results of the experiments with the Canadian beam are known.
The Australian Press Association understands that the British Post Office, within a few weeks, will announce that it has achieved perfectly secret transatlantic wireless telephony, by means of the disintegration and “turning over” sound waves at the transmitting-point, and piecing them together again at the receivingpoint. Meanwhile, Mr. Franklin, Sen-
ator Marconi’s right-hand man, is specially giving attention to the cause and the remedy of fading-out of the Australian beam, which is losing considerable traffic through the 12 hours’ fading from the late afternoon. It is suspected that this is due to summer time radiation heat from the sands of Australia's arid hinterland, and it is hoped to overcome this next summer.—A. and N.Z.
