W4WE Communicates With 16 Foreign Stations During Contests . "' . ' . v o ' - ... , .. (By Beaumert Whitton) During the two weeks of the international long-distance mes sage handling contest, the Uni versity radio station, W4WE, carried oh communication with 16 foreign stations on four con tinents, and amassed a total of 400 points in the contest, which is. sponsored annually by the American Radio Relay League. The farthest station with which contact was made was VK6FL in Perth,. Australia, Which is almost 12,000 miles from Chapel Hill, and which lacks only a few degrees of be ing on exactly the opposite side of the world. However, the station in Perth is not the only far distant station worked dur ing the contest, for communica tion was also established with VK6SA at Victoria Park, Aus tralia, and K6ALM, in Hono lulu. The operators of the station, Stanley Preston, Bill Adams, and Jack Houston, maintained watches at the station prac tically continuously during the contest period, and as a result of the early morning watches! the station in Perth and the one in Vicloria Park were picked up on consecutive days. In Europe the station com municated with two .French sta tions, one at Paris, F8KZ, and one in the southern part of the country, F8EX. . Because )f the fact that the European stations had to be worked during the late afternoon and a high fre quency of electric current the machine was operated on the campus during most of the af- Tar Heel Presidential Ballot (These ballots are to be signed and dropped in the ballot box in the lobby of the Y.'M.'C.

Consider ing the fact that there was a great amount, of local interfer ence, the local operators were lucky to communicate with even thesetwo French stations. While amateurs generally con sider South America a harder continent to communicate with than Europe, the operators were able to exchange messages with stations in four countries on that continent1 proper and on four islands in the Caribbean. : Brazil, Ecuador, Argentine, and Peru were the South Ameri can countries with which the University exchanged messages. Of the islands, Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico,; and Virgin Islands were , the ones with which con tact was established. ; For, W4WE, probably the most rapid exchange of , mes sages was with station NJ2PA, in Jamaica. The entire opera tion of calling the station, giving a message and taking one in re turn occupiedlightly less than two minutes. In addition to be- ing the most rapidly handled message during the contest this message was said by one of the operators to be one of the fast est transmitted by the station in quite some time, y , In addition to the stations in South America and the Carib bean Sea, the station communi cated with a station in New Fouiidland, the only one in North America which counted as a for eign station.
