Radio hams relay morale messages from soldiers in Louisiana maneuvers
In Lake Charles a trio of amateur radio operators organize free message relays for soldiers in the Louisiana war maneuvers. Victor Canfield funds forms and logistics, Howard and James Leveque handle pickup and broadcasting, and the system uses a Texas trunk line to forward messages to mothers and homes across the country. Messages typically arrive within 24 hours, though delivery is not guaranteed due to radio relay constraints.
