HOOPER Daily News Correspondent Just across the harbor on Dir- by Island is what people cail “the wireless station.” In the days before radic broadcasting came into beinz these stations which dealt woh dots and dashes in the intern :- tional Morse code were cailed “wireless stations” and those w!:o worked in tnem were wireless operators. With the advent of broadei:' - ing the term “radio station” came into general use to deseriue radio broadcasting stations, snd “wireless” continued to be usd to designate radio Stations haicd- ling commercial telegrams, :!- though the messages themselves 'were called radiotelegrams. | The radio station (to use its proper name) on Digby Ishind .was established somewhere alnuit! 1911 or 1912 and has served this whole ‘north coast area right up ‘fo the present day. By 1912 shins ‘all over the world were rapid.y ‘being equipped ‘with radiotulr- ‘arising from the Internation! ‘Radiotelegraph Convention of §1912.

Premier, | Radio siation on Digh y Island in operation on coast since 1912 Besides handling ship . shore. message traffie these coast sta- tions kept ship masters supplied with weather warnings and no- tices to mariners, The stations were also able to assist in dis- tress incidents by keeping the master of a ship in distress in| communication with the owners | or agents, and with the insur- ance company. In these respects then the stations were considered ag radio aids to marine naviga- tion, and such were their prim- ary functions. But they had another func- tion only slightly less important and that was to provide com- munications outlets for stations established at many coastal points by the logging, fishing and mining ind ustries, These were known as private commer- cia] stations. They employed ra- dio operators and used the in- ternational Morse code. Nearly ali of them have now converted to radiotelephone and are tied into the continental telephone systems. There still remain, however, a few stations whose remoteness equipped points on the B.C. coast via any of these stations. More- over, those located at Vancouver, Victoria, Estevan Point, Bull Harbor and Prince Rupert han- dled a great many messages to and from these ships and the land telegraph services. And not a few radio operators who orig- inally served aboard ships at sea later joined the DOT coast sta- tion service. The marine radio station on Digby Island fulfills yet another purpose, that of providing an emergency circuit to Vancouver when storms and slides interrupt the normal teiegraph services out of Prince Rupert. Messages are transferred to Digby Island by the Canadian National Tele- graphs over the company’s tele- type circuit, Such emergencies throw a heavy load on to the Digby Island staff, but this is met without oceasioning any serious delay to such traffic.
