Fascinating to see that the expedition to the #Titanic (currently in #legal dispute) is all about the #Marconi #radio and #MorseCode https://apnews.com/article/titanic-expedition-rmst-marconi-radio-ce027ac27d8f4804304b5f33fa471dda

2/2 Some explanations and one of the original transmitters #hamradio #marconi #cw

1/2 Happen to follow the advice of a fellow ham to give the Marconi station in Chatham, MA a try. It's been worth the visit (for me). Got information from K1UI about the shack (W1WCC) and he did a QSO as well. #hamradio #marconi #cw

@F4JWJ

Pretty sure these are all synthesized and I can't really tell who they are supposed to represent. Olympic was another White Star ship, so likely another #Marconi station with English ops, but no idea where the others were from.

I seem to recall that there is another, longer recreation of the message traffic from that night that had different voices.

Me:*lawyers*

Me: *continues lawyering*

My brain: Why DID #Marconi play the #mamba and what does that consist of, exactly?

Another short section of the #WalesCoastPath ticked off today, this time, #Penarth back to #SullyIsland. Pictured are:

-Penarth with it's pier and #CardiffBay in the background
-St Lawrence #Church at #Lavernock, with it's plaque commemorating #Marconi
-A Second World War gun emplacement and it's more modern graffitti, and

@MW1CFN Maybe throw up some 300' masts on a local hillside and "aim" your antenna at the transmitter?

25 Aprile
Buon compleanno #GuglielmoMarconi
#Marconi

We spent yesterday operating an #amateurradio Special Event Station - GB0MCN - from Fort Burgoyne near Dover, UK to celebrate International #Marconi Day. On air for three hours and had 77 contacts from 9 different countries. As it was #earthday2023 our radio was powered by a #battery which we’d charged using #solar and #wind only. Great fun was had. With @m7mle . 73 de M0VRI and M7MLE

Happy International Marconi Day - observed annually to celebrate Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the radio. This is a map of the contacts I made operating a portable station I set up in Warminster, PA.

We won't get into the whole Tesla controversy here - let's keep it civil! 😉

GB1GLC, centenary call and Marconi Day call for Marconi, Carnarvon, now achieving with 53dB less power and an antenna 39 times shorter than what it took the timed disc discharger and VLF inverted-L of 1918 to do when it made the first official direct, non-relay transmission between Britain and Australia.

Seemingly worthless fragments of ceramic littering the double ATI house at Marconi's Carnarvon station site are often anything but.

Here's a disc fragment that eluded understanding until yesterday, when I realised it was part of a reel insulator, widely used and seen in operation here, in January 1924, at the straining towers for the elevated counterpoise (mono photos: Bodleian Special Collections, no commercial use!)

I'm always amazed at the very fine detail that emerges from careful surface excavation at the Marconi Carnarvon trans-oceanic station, dismantled 1939.

Here, we firstly have a remnant cylindrical glass insulator and, secondly, simply two small fragments of clear glass which differ from other glass at the building shown under construction in 1923 in the third image, and tell us, together with discovered positions, that this was from the porch door.

On the list for 22/4 - together with all sorts of other fascinating Marconi-related stations:
