Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 January 1913 — Australia Gets Wireless. [ARTICLE]

Australia Gets Wireless.

The chain of wireless stations around Australasia will in a very few months be an accomplished fact, it is said, and Australia, New Zealand, and the islands will be in constant touch day and night. The station at Awanul Bay, North Auckland, is practically in operation already, although not yet officially taken over by the government. The installation, a thirty kilowatt one, compares very favorably with that at Pennant Hills; Sydney, and with the high power station at Fremantle, will enable Auckland to "speak” to Sydney or Fiji at any time. A similar installation is now in course of erection at The Bluff in the south of New Zealand, and there are three supplementary stations in the dominion.
