During the mid 1920s, two shortwave transmitters were constructed at South Schenectady, N.Y. for the purpose of experimental radio broadcasting.
In June 1925 W2XAF began a regular program relay from WGY and operated with a power of 40 kw.
In July 1926 a similar service began from W2XAD with an output of 25 kw.
The QSL, received by South African pioneer dxer Charles "Copper" Slingsby, verified W2XAF's broadcast during October 1934 on a frequency of 9530 kHz.
At the beginning of 1935, both stations were given a new identification signal (a huge crash of 10 million volts of electricity) with the on air slogan "The Voice of Electricity".
