Watched an excellent program on BBC2 TV tonight. A dramatic reconstruction
of the first radio signals across the Atlantic by Marconi and his team.
Technical details very good - the guys at the transmitting end had cotton
wool in their ears to protect them from the noise caused by the arcs!
A lot of problems at the receive end. The kite supporting the antenna was at
500ft and several kites were wreaked before the esential three dots were
heard.
