The Military and Amateur RadioThe War Department Radio Net Initially conceived as anemergency backup for the telephone and telegraph network that supportedcommunications for the Army across the United States, the War Department RadioNet demonstrated that radio technology had come of age. One of the provisionsof the National Defense Act of 1920 was to divide the country into nine separatecorps areas. Each corps area consisted of between three and eight states withthe corps area headquarters assuming administrative functions for the Armyunits (Regular, Organized Reserve, and National Guard) within each corps areaas well as a domestic defense function which included natural disaster responseand relief efforts. Commencing operations in January 1922, the War DepartmentRadio Net planned to have stations in all nine of the corps areas as well asmajor cities. Starting with five sites located at Washington, D.C., FortBenjamin Harrison, Indiana, Fort McPherson, Georgia, Fort Howard, Maryland, andFort Wood, New York, by June 1925 the network expanded to include twelveprimary radio stations. One station was located in each of the nine corpsareas, two acted as relay stations, and net control was located in Washington, D.C. The total network grew to encompass 164 stations that included not onlyAlaska but also Army ships thereby making it the largest such radio net inexistence. In 1922, message traffic through the War Department Radio Netcontrol station, WVA62 , located near Washington, D.C. initially averaged only50 messages per day. By 1925 the average reached 600 messages a day. The ChiefSignal Officer, Major General Charles McK.
