Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Old Marconi Beam Wireless Station. This was the Bridgwater Beam Wireless Station, opened for service on 25 October, 1926. It was the UK receiving station for Marconi's UK-to-Canada Beam Wireless Service, the first transoceanic shortwave wireless telegraph service in the world. It received signals from a shortwave transmitter at Marconi's Drummondville Beam Wireless Station, near Montreal, Canada. The UK transmitter station was the Bodmin Beam Wireless Station in Cornwall. The UK-to-Canada Beam Wireless Service remained in operation until October, 2002 when it was made obsolete by fiberoptic and satellite communications. |
