Excerpt from The W. H. S. Debater: June, 1922

To operators who can copy the Internation al Morse Code at a speed of about twenty words per minute, the next class of signals is as interesting as one could want. It con sists of the ships and shore stations sending messages to and from passengers and also the orders from the ship owners. After a heavy winter storm the air is full of or ders, reports, and messages, telling of dam age and loss at sea, while on the 800 meter wave the radio compass stations, located all along the coast, are kept busy giving ships their positions.

Between and meters the most useful and the most talked of signals are those of Arlington, Virginia. This station sends the Naval Observatory time twice each day, followed by weather, navigation obstrue tions, and press.
