June 27, 1946: "Automatic radio relay equipment newly installed at the Jelm mountain lookout of the Medicine Bow National forest will 'tie in communications from a million acres of southeast Wyoming forest,' Supervisor C.C. Averill said.
Five Medicine Bow lookouts will have direct radio contact with headquarters here, he explained. There also will be contact with the Deadman lookout in the Roosevelt National forest in northern Colorado.
'This is the first radio relay of its kind to be used in the Rocky mountains,' Averill said.
The Jelm equipment will pick up messages from other lookouts or traveling transmitters used by rangers and automatically rebroadcast them to the Laramie forest office." (Casper Star-Tribune)
