12th December 1901 - Marconi sends first Atlantic wireless transmission
Italian physicist and radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi succeeds in sending the first radio transmission across the Atlantic Ocean, disproving detractors who told him that the curvature of the earth would limit transmission to 200 miles or less. The message–simply the Morse-code signal for the letter “s”–traveled more than 2,000 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England, to Newfoundland, Canada.

Cuba's Mysterious 'Numbers Station' Is Still on the Air
On August 18 at 22:00 UTC, I heard a government intelligence agency transferring encrypted messages to spies over the radio. Or at least, that's the most common explanation for what I heard. I dialed to the correct frequency—17480 kHz—using an internet-connected radio tuner maintained by a university in the Netherlands. Suddenly, over waves of static, an eerily-robotic woman's voice began speaking a series of five-digit number sequences in Spanish.
