Marconi Wellfleet station

2008-10-08T02:36:12Z

While on a recent trip to Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a friend found and bought for me an ORIGINAL 1905 postcard of the Marconi Wellfleet station. Quite a find! Scans are attached.

Mystery Photo

CQ R/O group!

Someone sent me this drawing - it was done from two photos found on the
Internet.
It looks like snow - so it is probably not on the equator! My first guess
would be that the outside picture looks kind of like Malin Head Radio - with
its nice Marconi T on twin 120 foot towers.

Joe Prewitt (W0TUT) asked me to post the message he sent to KOK from
WHBH. He said his scanner is down. I uploaded it to FILES.

Re: [Radio Officers, &c] future of 500 kHz

Hello Norbert and Rolf,
I certainly agree with you and UNESCO on this. If you could provide a
link for the document at the UN sites, it would be of great help
because the documents would have been translated into the UN
langugaes.
Your work in this is very impressive, thanks for doing this.
If there is further news about this or 500 kc/s (kHz) please let us know.

Hi David,

Will gladly post the NTTH setup as soon as I can and keep people up to date on the progress which is slow. Tied up for a few days with a major design problem at work. Working with microwave transmitter design is enough to make your hair fallout and gives me sleepless nights, especially when I fall behind schedule.

Hello Steve,
Welcome to the group - please keep us informed about your restoration work.
There are four people on this group who are involved with different coast

Hello to the group

My name is Steve Russell from Stoneham,MA and I was invited to join the group. You can call me a radio historian and I love CW, I recently passed my T2. I hope more people go for it to send a message to the FCC. I believe in preserving 500 KHz and all commercial CW frequencies.

With reference to my recent audio posting with an apparent
STF coast radio station callsign, on 500 khz, please note
the following I have discovered from an ITU publication.

Sounds like
SYTTS SYTTS STF STF 500 K
to me.
Easy! A unknown Sudanese station calling a mysterious Greek aircraft on 500!
Actually the second SYTTS sounds a bit like SYTB - and that's probably
what it is.
No clue as to STF - never heard of such.

I know what you're saying, OM. But as I sit here on watch at KSM guarding 500kc and the HF channels and also hearing my colleagues at XSV, HLO, HLF, HLG, etc. still keeping the faith I have to think that they're not quite all gone.
