Abstract: This paper is to clarify the communication network between Nagoya Wireless Telegraph Yosami Radio Transmitting Station and Europe during 1929-37. The Yosami Radio Transmitting Station was built in Yosami mura (village), in the southern suburbs of Kariya, Aichi, Japan, in 1929. It ceased communications in 1993, and the station buildings were demolished in 2006. This paper sets out details of the transmitting and receiving stations in the six countries of Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, and Italy with whom the Yokkaichi (formerly Kaizo) Receiving Station (1928-38) and the Yosami Transmitting Station, both controlled from the Nagoya Wireless Telegraph Station, were in communication in the years 1929-1937, obtained from contemporary documents, information from overseas researchers, and direct site visits undertaken by the author and Shoji Ishida in Germany in 2010 and in the United Kingdom and France in 2018.
