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! 😉

@chrisfarnham Having nothing to do with The Husk both Marconi's and Tesla's stories are so cool, we should teach Edison third if at all.

@chrisfarnham Oh AG Bell was cool too, *totally* may have stole some stuff though

@CartyBoston And so it goes - I just think it's so cool that Marconi built huge facilities and towers to get 7.5 watt morse code transmissions overseas. I buy a $500 chinese radio, throw a wire into a tree and am talking to Italy.
