WIRELESS RACE

BETWEEN PACIFIC BOARD AND MARCONI COMPANY

FOR LICENSE FOR HIGHPOWER STATION RIVAL SURVEYS BEING MADE The Marconi Company and the Pacific Cable Board have about completed rival surveys for great wireless stations in the vicinity of Vancouver, and i.t looks like a trace tar a license, as two high-power stations in this vicinity would probably interfere with each other. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. Vancouver, November 26. The Marconi Company and Pacific Cable Board officials have about completed rival surveys for great wireless stations in the vicinity of Vancouver. It is presumed here that the Pacific Cable Board’s plan is to handle as much business as r>ssible by wireless instead of by duplicating its cable,if the wireless method is found satisfactory. Experiments have been conducted at several points along the coast from Vancouver City, as well as at other sites a hundred miles to the north, but whether the proposal is to connect with the stations to be erected at Fanning Island and Suva, or to transmit direct to Australia, has not been learned. In any event, it looks like a race between the Pacific Cable Board and the Marconi Company for a license, because it is evident that two high-power norid stations in this vicinity jjould probably interfere with each other, — Aus.-N.Z.
