It is understood that about 20 kw. is employed in the high-frequency transmission. Interruptions due to static and fading have been minimized through the use of multiple receiving antenna systems. Message transmission is made on high-speed tape transmitters but it is understood that it is not yet possible to employ automatic recorders at the receiving end. Transmission is direct between New York and San Francisco and messages are accepted at the Boston and Washington offices of R.C.A.
