BYRNE, John Drennan

Santa Cruz Boy Talks With Hawaii; Pleasures of Radio John Byrne, Radio 6AAU, has worked long and hard on his transmitting apparatus and is more than repaid by holding the distance record for Santa Cruz. He has just received verification of his signals being heard by Clifford J. Dow of Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii Islands, which is 2100 miles across the Pacific. He surely had his set to the highest point of efficiency and every bit of energy put in must have done its part, and made that ripple still noticeable in the islands. The next thing one of us will be talking to some native amateur in Hong Kong.
