HC Deb 13 March 1930 vol 236 cc1505-6W
Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

asked the Postmaster-General in detail which are the several radio links terminating in London and New York over one of which a wire- less telephonic call despatched by the British Post Office would pass on its journey from London to Canada?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The four existing Transatlantic radio links terminating in London and New York are all available for public telephone communication between Canada and this country or the Continent of Europe. One of these links is long wave and the other three are short wave. All our transmitters are at Rugby. Long wave reception is cither at Cupar, Fifeshire, or at Wroughton, Wiltshire, the station used depending on the technical conditions at the time. The three short wave receivers are all at Baldock, Hertfordshire.
