This Thursday is our monthly So. Cal. Wireless Users Group meeting. And this time we are looking back at wireless history with a presentation by Frank Keeney on wireless pioneer Marconi...

"Guglielmo Marconi in 1901 proved that wireless waves were not affected by the curvature of the Earth, he used his system for transmitting the first wireless signals across the Atlantic between Poldhu, Cornwall England, and St. John's, Newfoundland.

I'm sure most of us remember the centennial celebration in 2001 of Marconi's achievements.

On a recent trip to Cornwall England last month, I visited both the Marconi Poldhu and Lizard Point wireless stations where Marconi performed his early experiments. In order to make this transmission over the Atlantic tremendous obstacles needed to be overcome."

Join us in person or by internet video at the So Cal Wireless Users Group this Thursday 07/27/06 at 7pm (Pacific).
