- Machrihanish Radio Station and Reginald Aubrey Fessenden
Marconi set up an experimental transmitting station at Poldhu Point, Cornwall. Here he built very large aerial systems that would be required to send his signal as far as possible - the aim was to send his radio signals across the Atlantic - the great "Atlantic Leap". The 12th December 1901 marked Marconi's very first trans-Atlantic transmission, the letter S in Morse Code was sent from his station on the cliff at Poldhu. This radio signal was received by Marconi at Signal Hill in Newfoundland, using a large antenna about 600 feet long suspended from a kite. Marconi's work was a tremendous achievement and over the next few years Marconi's wireless telegraphy sets, which used Morse Code, were fitted to many to ocean going ships so that they could communicate with wireless telegraphy stations on the mainland.  Machrihanish Radio Station and Reginald Aubrey Fessenden: In December 1905 and unrelated to Marconi's experiments, the Machrihanish Radio Station was built on the Kintyre peninsula, Scotland. Funded by the National Electric Signalling Company of Washington and along with another station at Brant Rock, Massachusetts, USA (shown right) was used for experimental trans-Atlantic radio transmissions conducted by the Canadian inventor, Reginald Aubrey Fessenden.
Since 1900, Fessenden had also been experimenting with voice transmissions, rather than CW and Morse Code radio telegraphy. Although not corroborated, it is reported that Fessenden managed to transmit the first sound (voice) broadcast from the station at Brant Rock on December 24th 1906. The transmission being received by a number of ships on the Atlantic Ocean a few hundred miles away which had been equipped with Fessenden's experimental radio demodulator.
