Location where Marconi sent the 1st transatlantic wireless signal @ Table Head, Glace Bay, Nova Scotia  Actual equipment used by Marconi on 15-Dec-1902 to transmit the 1st transatlantic wireless signal  Volunteer radio operator Jim Charlong (personal call sign: VE1 ALZ, frequency 14.002 hz - on low end of morse code band)   Concrete pad of one of the four 200-foot transmission towers used to transmit Marconi's 15-Dec-1902 signal. This was one of four towers, each 200 feet apart from each other   Marconi had previously RECEIVED the 1st transatlantic wireless signal at Signal Hill, Newfoundland (12-Dec-1901). Why didn't he SEND the 1st transatlantic wireless signal from the same location? Prior to 1901, Morse Code was being sent across the Atlantic Ocean for 16 years through an undersea cable. It was a very prosperous venture, and the patent for the Morse telegraph didn't anticipate use of wireless communication. At that time, Newfoundland was not a part of Canada, and Marconi feared patent litigation. The Canadian government, led by Sir Wilfred Laurier, saw an opportunity for wireless communications and gave Marconi $80,000 to setup a station at Table Head, Nova Scotia - where Marconi had the use of miners from the local mining town to build his four transmission towers.
