 from 3:00 to 3:30 P.M., my voice was heard describing 

 what I saw between 1500 and 2200 feet, while Miss Hol-

My voice was carried through 3000 feet of telephone

 On deck the voices were picked up from the telephone 

 wires and sent over a portable 50- watt radio transmitter 

 (which had a frequency of 2390 kilocycles — 125 meters) 

 by short wave to the receiving station at the Flatts. From 

 here it was sent over a special telephone cable circuit to 

 the St. Georges radio transmitter, 2FB (10,335 kilocy-

 radio telephone and received at the A. T. & T. Company's 

 receiving station at Netcong, New Jersey, and then sent
