This is where Guglielmo Marconi made the big break through in getting a signal across the Atlantic ocean.
At 1:30 im standing in the transmitter room where those 3 dots ( letter S in morse code ) was sent to Newfoundland in Canada.
Notice the Edwardian tiles and concrete footings for the mast's still looking good even though being exposed to the harsh winds and salt air from the Atlantic.
Whether you like radio or not this is a very interesting place to visit if your in the area and you never know you might learn something i know i did!
Thanks again to the club GB2GM who use the centre for there club and man the centre for visitors.

Guglielmo Marconi erected a wireless staion of a size never before believed possible on the site in 1900. Shortly after midday on 12th December, 1901, radio signals sent from here spanned the Atlantic and were received by Marconi at Signal Hill, St. John, Newfoundland, he distinguished three faint clicks through the earphones of his wireless receiver, the Morse Code letter "S".

Thanks for the comment and i have to say it was an amazing feeling to be where it happened all those years ago. I wonder how many people with a mobile / cell phone would visit the centre if they were in the area?
