Wireless telegraph tele-graph tests ,are to be made during the" next thirty days by the officers In charge of the stations established by the Navy department to determine. If possible, the many failures to receive and to send messages at sunrise and sunset. Reoeated tests have shown this to be the case, and it is said that the navy operators were the first to make the discovery of this strange and important phenomenon. Just why the power of the wireless apparatus and the sound waves should be at. the lowest ebb at sunset or at sunrise, operators say may not be difficult diffi-cult to ascertain, for it has long been known that messages can be sent by the system at night 40 per cent better than :n the daytime, especially when the sun Is shining. |
