World's first radio voice broadcast from Mass. coast in 1906 (8694 words) |
 | Throughout this period, radio was still seen primarily as point-to-point communication between transmitting stations, a sort of "wireless telephone." The notion of "broadcasting" or transmitting to an audience of listeners was not seen as practical. |
| Radio at that time was used mostly for commercial shipping purposes, but land based amateur operators began to appear as electronics technology improved. |
| The contract for the steelwork and erection of these towers was let to the Brown Hoisting Machinery Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., and for the insulators to the Locke Insulator Company, of Victor, N.Y., U.S.A. Owing to delays on the part of the contractors, the towers were not completed until December 28, 1905. |
