"America Amateurs Phone Reaches Scotland.
THE LONG-TIME dream of the amateur has been realized. Trans-ocean radio from America to Europe is now a fact. The new record for the transmission wirh low power of sound by radio telephone was established on October 6, when an amateur wireless operator in Scotland heard parts of a conversation and a phonographic selection emanating from an amateur experimental station (2QR) in Keyport, N. J., approximately 3,500 miles away.
This became known when Hugh Robinson, who with his sixteen-year-old son Harold, an active member of the National Amateur Wireless Association, has been experimenting with wireless telephone, received a letter from George W. G. Benzie of Aberdenshire, Scotland, dated October 12, in which the writer told of his experience in receiving the message."
