100 Years Since The First Transatlantic Broadcast

Diarmaid O'Loughlin writes "It's the 100th year since the first comunications over the pond The Marconi Radio Club and The Falmouth Amateur Radio Association Amateur Radio operators are making plans to celebrate a Marconi world historical event. December 12, 2001 will mark the 100th anniversary of the first Trans-Atlantic radio transmission." The BBC is also carrying the story as well. Embedded Geek adds a link to coverage on stardate.com, pointing out that "there will be events in the ham community to commemorate it, including a reenactment broadcast (look here under 'Marconi's Celebrations' for others)." This would be a nice day to swing by the Cape Cod station, too.

And to celebrate they've just started selling DAB (Digital) Radio's for under £100, you can get one for your PC for £49, great for recording stuff in native MP2 (MPEG audio was originally created for this).

The stuff is still too expensive for mainstream though.
