Radio Broadcast
tensive and rapidly growing radio system. Radio — a dream of the scientists two decades ago — has firmly established its place in the commercial and political life of the world. Too much credit cannot be given the inventors and pioneers for their courage and perseverance in accomplishing this result.
The United Fruit Company has just announced the inauguration of a free medical radio service from its hospitals in the various countries of Central America and from its passenger steamships to all ships at sea. This service is available without charge so far as the United Fruit Company and subsidiary companies are concerned to ships of all nationalities through the following radio stations operated by the United Fruit Company or the Tropical Radio Telegraph Company:
Radio Stations New Orleans, Louisiana Burrwood, Louisiana Fort Morgan, Alabama Swan Island, Caribbean

Tela, Honduras Puerto Castilla, Honduras Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Radio Call Letter List
Radiograms requesting medical advice should be signed by the captain of the ship and should state briefly, but clearly, the symptoms of the person afflicted. Such radiograms should be addressed "UNIFRUITCO" (name of place) and may be sent to any of the United Fruit Company's hospitals listed below:
Santa Marta, Colombia
Port Limon, Costa Rica
Almirante, Panama
Tela, Honduras
Puerto Castilla, Honduras
Puerto Barrios, Guatemala
All United Fruit Company passenger ships carry doctors, and free medical service may be secured by radio from any of them by a radiogram addressed "Ship's Doctor" followed by the name of the steamship.
This free medical service is established primarily for the benefit of ships not carrying doctors; however, should occasion require, ships' doctors may hold consultation by radio with the United Fruit Company ships' doctors and hospital staffs.
It is requested that when sending medical advice radiograms, radio operators check them " (number of words) DH Medico."
"DH Medico" radiograms will be given preference over all other radiograms, excepting SOS calls, throughout the radio service of the United Fruit Company and subsidiary companies.
