The Communication System of the Radiomarine Corporation of America

The coastal facilities and shipboard apparatus used in the communication system of the Radiomarine Corporation of America, are described in this paper. Long-range communication obtainable from ship to shore with moderate power at high frequencies has resulted in the development of several new types of short-wave transmitters. In addition to serving the marine field as an important communication facility and safety-of life factor, radio, through the direction finder, has become a valuable navigation aid. One of the standard Radiomarine direction finders is briefly described in this paper.
