This is an unusual game from Parker Brothers that involved a detailed map of the United States as the game board, lined with letters of the alphabet that were used to make radio call signs. The game is supposed to begin in the players' home city, at their local station, and a spinner is used to contact other stations. That sounds like a normal race game, and apparently the player who achieves the greatest combined distance wins. However, the game also involves "special pins" and a "measuring device" which are not obvious at all. Multiple copies of the game board have been found with pinholes across their surface. The game appears as "new" in the 1927 Parker Games catalog, but it has disappeared by 1929. —user summary
