Hiram Percy Maxim and Clarence D. Tuska, Honolulu Station Gets War Dispatch from Nauen… (1916)
“ The German operator was sending war dispatches and the signals were very clear in Honolulu. This remarkable transmission about reaches the limit on the earth as when 12,000 miles are covered no one can tell from which direction the messages come. That is, we can only receive messages from half way around the earth. It is peculiar to note that many of the long distance records have been made at Honolulu. The best previous performance in long distance wireless communication was 6,000 miles. This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1928. ”
