北洋政府时期新疆无线电通信事业的创办

The Establishment of Xinjiang Wireless Telegraph Communication during the Beiyang Government Period

北洋政府时期,新疆有线电报线路已无法满足通信需要。为加强新疆的信息传递效率,北京政府与英国马可尼无线电公司签订无线电借款合同,借款20万英镑,并由该公司派工程师主持建造迪化、喀什噶尔两处无线电台。新疆无线电台建成后,经过数次试验,才与其他省份电台通报成功。1926年,新疆、奉天当局商定,通过借助功率强大的奉天无线电台,转递新疆与其他各地往来电报。1927年,北京政府交通部制定国内无线电转报及收费办法,规范了新疆与其他省份无线电通信传递方式、电报价目、收入分配等事宜。北洋政府时期新疆无线电台的创设,提升了新疆电报通信的能力,加强了新疆与其他省份的信息沟通,有利于西北边疆治理。

During the period of the Beiyang government,the Xinjiang telegraph lines could no longer meet the communication needs. In order to enhance the efficiency of information transmission in Xinjiang,the Beijing government signed a loan contract with the British Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company,borrowing 200000 pounds,and asking the company to send engineers to preside over the construction of two wireless stations in Urumchi and Kashgar. After the completion of Xinjiang wireless stations,by several tests,they successfully communicated with the wireless stations in other provinces. In 1926,Xinjiang and Fengtian authorities reached an agreement to transmit the telegraphs between Xinjiang and other places through the powerful Fengtian wireless station. In 1927, the Ministry of Communications of the Beijing Government formulated domestic radio transmission and charging methods,which regulated the wireless telegraph communication transmission method,telegraph price list,and income distribution between Xinjiang and the provinces. The establishment of Xinjiang wireless station during the period of the Beiyang government enhanced the capability of Xinjiang’s telegraph communication,strengthened the communication between Xinjiang and the other provinces,and was contributed to the governance of the northwestern borderland.
