Broadcast from the R100

While Above Ottawa ETAILS have recently arrived from Canada of the rebroadcast over the Canadian network of a two-way’ wireless telephonic communication between a land station at Ottawa and the airship R100- during the latter’s passage over the capital of Canada. The Hon. R. B. Bennett, from the studio of station CNRO, spoke to Wing-Commander Colmore and others on board the R100. In turn, those on the airship addressed the land station. Transmission both ways was clear and distinctly audible, though reception in the ship was betier, due to the greater power of the land station. It is believed that this is the first occasion on which a broadcast of such character has been conducted.
