Had a nice class outing today to celebrate 100 years since the Marconi company compleated their first radio broadcast across water.
We all made the trip down to Queenscliff for our regular Friday morning meeting (today being Wednesday) then meandered across to Point Lonsdale to watch the re-enactment. All very swish!
The local ham club had a spark gap transmitter, just like the type use 100 years ago, although they used a more moden HF transmitter for the re-enactment. A message was sent by morse to Devenport, folowed by the local MP, and her Tassie counterpart having the usual "were a better state than you" banter.
