First Transatlantic Radio Message
Guglielmo Marconi successfully made the first transatlantic radio transmission on December 12, 1901.
12th December 1901 - Marconi sends the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. NB: The first radio signal was actually simply the letter "S" in morse code. (not the dance music from Saturday Night Fever, as this sketch would have you believe :) )








At Signal Hill on December 12, 1901, Guglielmo Marconi and his assistant, George Kemp, confirmed the reception of the first transatlantic radio signals. With a telephone receiver and a wire antenna kept aloft by a kite, they heard Morse code for the letter "S" transmitted from Poldhu, Cornwall.
