“ Every one who knows anything about wireless, knows that we could not handle any long distance relay work on 200 meters wave length. Everyone knows that many of the relay stations who assisted in the February 22nd relay from Rock Island Arsenal used wave lengths nearer 500 than 200. This is contrary to the law unless the station has a Special License.
The law must be observed. Nothing ever succeeded for any length of time or ever will succeed if it violates the law. ”

“ If a station is in the interior, away from the seacoast, and in the hands of a person who will be on the job regularly, and who has a First Grade Commercial License, and is so located geographically that he can handle through relay traffic to advantage, it is very likely that his chances of securing a Special License are better than they have ever been before. ”

“ As is well known among most amateurs by this time, we have secured the co-operation of the Government to the extent that where it seems desirable for the purpose of relay work, a Special License will be granted by the Bureau of Navigation, provided the applicant holds a First-Grade Commercial License, and provided he is favorably recommended by the League. ”
