QST/February 1916/Honolulu Station Gets War Dispatch from Nauen, Prussia.
Honolulu, Nov. 29th.―A new world’s record was made last night, when an operator of the Federal Wireless Telegraph Company picked up signals transmitted from Nauen, Prussia, to Tuckerton, N. J., a distance of approximately 9,000 miles. The German operator was sending war dispatches and the signals were very clear in Honolulu. This remarkable transmission about reaches the limit on the earth as when 12,000 miles are covered no one can tell from which direction the messages come. That is, we can only receive messages from half way around the earth. It is peculiar to note that many of the long distance records have been made at Honolulu. The best previous performance in long distance wireless communication was 6,000 miles.
