In 1927, he and two friends organized an expedition of sorts of their
own. Collins, Paul Engle, and Winfield Salisbury outfitted a truck with short
wave transmitting and receiving equipment and took a summer trip to the
southwest states. Using power of 10 watts they conducted experiments in
connection with the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. Leo Hruska stayed
behind in Cedar Rapids to operate the base station for the study.
