On December 12, 1901 on a chill, NewFoundland morning, the first proclaimed radio amateur, Guglielmo Marconi, bent intently over his crude receiving instruments and heard the letter "S" (three dots in Morse code) transmitted across the stormy Atlantic Ocean from a station in Cornwell- a distance of about 3,380 kms! Guglielmo Marconi was at a loss to explain why his signals had travelled such a long distance. In this experiment, Marconi was using a wireless transmitter powered by 2,000 volts from a generator driven by a 32 horse-power petrol engine which pumped out 25,000 watts (25 KW) of power at a carrier frequency of about 328 KHz
