Rocky Point

One month after the expedition station VP3THE's first test transmission, the party began broadcasting weekly radio reports back to the United States for nationwide coverage in the NBC Red and Blue networks.

Sometimes the programmes were relayed via VP3BG and VP3MR in Georgetown, and sometimes, when the propagation conditions allowed, the transmission was made direct to the RCA station at Rocky Point on Long Island.

Three months after the initial test broadcast, the expedition station VP3THE left the air, never to return again.

The final broadcast was made early in the new year on January 15, 1938.

And then in fifth grade, moved up to Long Island, New York.
