  • @issoto no thanks. deal with it.

  • @grizzlychris2 shutup stupid lakers fan cunt

  • Is this the ACTUAL transmission? if so..how did they record that?

  • They are using spark-gap transmitters. The make and break of the cw key creates the on and off of the radio signal which is transmitted somewhat like a static burst. Today's code uses tone or frequency shift.

  • @hitlersucks101 Before they knew how to project "dits" and "dahs" all they knew how to do was break up the static between the telegrams. This is how Morse code sounded before they could make noises over the signal.

  • why does it sound like that? i though it was beeps

  • @fp19541 Therefore between 1898 and this date of 1921 we had e one only way to speak : the Morse ! That's all ! We call it : the TSF. The army was the first user. The first private radio in France was called .... Radiola. Funny no !

  • I would like to answer to a question :@fp19541 why didnt they use voice at the time if music radio transmission was already available in some cities...

    Dear friend, you right and not right ! The case of France : the fist radio transmission by voice was send to the world at the top of the Eiffel tower." radio tour Eiffe"l begin to speak in 1921. Before this date, it was pinuts as we say in France (translation : it was nothing)

  • @fp19541 why didnt they use voice at the time if music radio transmission was already available in some cities...

  • @fp19541 and could usually maintain communications over 400 miles. The antenna system for this radio equipment can be prominently seen in most of the clear photographs of the ship. It consisted of four wires strung between two masts, the forward one located about ¼ of the way back from the bow of the ship, and the other being near the stern. The height of the antenna was 205 feet above water level.
