Ship to Shore Transmission
ns RECENTLY the wireless service between Australia and ships at sea was improved until now telephone subseribers who wish to communicate with vessels within range, are able to lodge their messages by telephone with the transmitting station. Direct communication is not, of course, provided for, but in favourable circumstances it ‘is possible to send a message and receive a reply from a vessel a thousand miles at sea in the space of ten minutes or less. The number of people using the facilities thus provided has been much smaller than anticipated, and the reason is thought to be that radio is being developed in so many different ways nowadays that the public do not fully realise that they can now virtually telephone their friends on board ship.
