I live in a place called Mullion in Cornwall. It was from a field on the edge of the village that the first transatlantic signals were broadcast.
This afternoon I went to the first open day of the new radio shack built to celebrate the 100th aniv. The place is fascinating, hands on radio "it is a not raining here also" stuff and really good visuals of the early signal masts, generators etc. Thank God for the transistor.
