GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT

ALAN M. EHRLICH

Welcome to the 80th VWOA Annual Awards Luncheon! Our 80th Anniversary has arrived – from 1925 to 2005. It is true that the age of our membership is such that many of our members experienced many of the highlights in radio andtelevision, communications and broadcasting. The invention of the transistor and the beginning of the solid-state era, theage of microwaves, and the present-day digital revolution are just a few of the amazing developments in communicationtechnology witnessed, and even pioneered, by our members.As I look through some of our past Annual Award Yearbooks, I see so many people with so much talent, skills, and expert-ise that I marvel and feel pride and enjoyment that the original goals and ideals upon which our organization was foundedhave continued to sustain our membership for so many years.There have been individuals interested in communications from the time that Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail developedthe “Morse” code and sent the first “wired” telegraph message, “What Hath God Wrought,” through Marconi’s “magicbox” of wireless telegraphy, and up through today’s modern world-wide satellite telephone communication system andglobal positioning system. This same interest in communications is precisely why the Veteran Wireless OperatorsAssociation was formed in 1925 and has remained active these many years.In order for our group to continue to exist new members are needed who will carry on the original ideals that our foundersinstalled in our VWOA constitution.The ways in which we communicate today have changed and will inevitably continue to evolve in the years ahead. Thepeople involved in the new technologies, however, will have the same burning desire to be the best they can be for society.They will have the same deep fascination for communication practices and new communication technology.Our Annual Awards luncheons are excellent times for members to meet, mingle, and get acquainted and reacquainted as wehonor individuals and organizations for excellent work and accomplishments.73 to all of our members and friends.Have a happy and productive year ahead.

SPARKS, WAVES, AND WIZARDS COMMUNICATION AT SEA

In the spring of 1999, Ken Richardson, a retiredHughes Aircraft Corporation President and ChiefOperating Officer, offered to fund a San FranciscoMaritime National Historical Park exhibit as amemorial to his father whose service in radio hadspanned four wars and who had sailed as a marineradio officer.

Exhibits curator Richard Everett was assignedthe task of creating and bringing such an exhibitinto being. The exhibit was designed to focus onthe role and experience of radio officers on ships ofthe merchant marine. Two radio experts, TomHorsfall and Dick Dillman, volunteered to completethe challenging job of restoring salvaged equipmentto working condition. Together with a number ofveteran marine radio officers, they also offered con-sultation on technical and historical facets and con-tributed visual and audio display material.

Expeditions to the mothball fleet at Suisun Bayled to the acquiring of many equipment relics oflandmark communication methods. The majoraccomplishment was the identification, removal,and reconstruction of the World War II era RCA 4Uradio unit from SS Rider Victory. The exhibit teamcarried the 4U radio parts over the decks and lad-ders of ten mothballed ships to bring them back toSan Francisco. The radio room itself was carefullyphotographed and important parts removed. At the

San Francisco Maritime Museum they werereassembled into a replica of the radio room onRider Victory. This equipment is operated eachmonth to demonstrate the procedures used by radioofficers. Many stations and museum ships havebeen contacted using the restored rig.

The exhibit is located on the "bridge deck" ofthe Museum with a magnificent view of SanFrancisco Bay. Around the room, interactive dis-plays trace the evolution of marine communica-tions: from signal flags and megaphones to thesatellite technology of today. The space bristleswith working VHF receivers, radio direction find-ers, radar, and GPS equipment. Large display casescontain a shipboard spark transmitter from 1918,and radio relics from a Korean War era troop ship.There are over 30 audio clips, with stories told byradio operators themselves, a functioning scientificmodel of a spark transmitter, and a shipboard signallight which is able to exchange Morse code blinkersignals with its visible counterpart a quarter mileaway. One computer is a live view of the CoastGuard Vessel Traffic System. Visitors can trackships on the map, observe their speed and direction,and hear their radio communications while watch-ing them through the window.

Since the exhibit opened in November 1999, it is estimated that about 200,000 peoplehave visited the exhibit each year. More than one million people have come to appreciatethe history and technology of marine radio and the people who sailed as radio officers.

SPANNING THE OCEAN - UNITING THE WORLD

Guglielmo Marconi arrived in the United Statesin September of 1899 to demonstrate his new wire-less system. His reports of a yacht race off NewYork made him a celebrity and aroused America'sinterest in the technology. Throughout 1900 heprepared to achieve his consuming ambition, tosend and receive messages across the Atlantic. InJuly, he found a site for a transmitting station on thebarren seacoast of Poldhu, in Southwest England.The transmitting structure was completed inJanuary of 1901. It consisted of twenty 200 footwooden masts arranged in a 200 foot circle. TheMorse code signal was generated by a keyed sparkgap that exploded in flashes of light and the crash ofthunder. Marconi determined to build a similar sta-tion on the Northeast coast of America. He foundthe site on Cape Cod, reaching out into the Atlantictoward Europe. By the summer of 1901 the stationat South Wellfleet was completed and he was readyto span the Atlantic.

However, on September seventeenth, a stormblew down the masts at the Poldhu station.Uncertain whether the reduced power of the emer-gency antenna would be able to reach Cape Cod,Marconi planned to set up a station inNewfoundland, 800 miles closer. These plans werewell under way when, on November 26, the SouthWellfleet station was also destroyed by a gale.Thus it was that on December 12, 1901, St. Johns,Newfoundland, instead of Cape Cod, became thefirst North American station to receive radio signalsto be sent from Europe by the Poldhu station.

During 1902, Marconi built new, more power-ful, stations in Polhu and South Wellfleet. He alsoestablished a station in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. Bythe end of the year, signals were routinely sentbetween Glace Bay and Poldhu. In January,Marconi made the trip from Glace Bay to Cape Cod

to initiate two-way communication with England.Late on the eighteenth, he transmitted a messagefrom President Theodore Roosevelt to KingEdward VII. Because Greenwich Mean Time wasused to time-date the message, the date of record isJanuary nineteenth, 1903. There were connectionproblems at each end and the messages were carriedby horse and buggy between the stations and thenearest telegraph and telephone lines. These prob-lems were resolved and soon commercial messageswere flashing back and forth. Although Glace Baycame to be more used for traffic between Europeand America, the station at Cape Cod became a pre-miere ship-to-shore station. By 1916, the towers atSouth Wellfleet were being undermined by erosionand in 1917 the station was closed. Operationswere transferred to Chatham and the powerful,technically advanced, station Marconi built there.This station, WCC, operated until the nineteennineties and worked Morse code with ships in everyocean and sea.

In 1920 the old station was dismantled and thetowers were scrapped. In 1943, during World WarII, an Anti-Aircraft Artillery Training Center wasestablished on the Cape and included the site. In1961 the site became part of the Cape Cod NationalSeashore, managed by the National Park Service. Apavilion was built in 1962 and, in 1974, a shelterwas constructed to house a scale model of the sta-tion.

In 2003, Cape Cod National SeashoreSuperintendent Maria Burks, together with ElettraMarconi, daughter of the inventor, led a commemo-ration of the hundredth anniversary and amateurradio operators around the world joined in creatingan invisible network of signals the girdled the earthand reached out into the universe.

SOUTH WELLFLEET, CAPE COD -A HISTORIC RADIOTELEGRAPH SITE

Poldhu, Cornwall, June 1901

Poldhu, Cornwall, 1901 Marconi reads message in South Wellfleet South Wellfleet Station, 1903

South Wellfleet, Cape Cod, June 1901

Guglielmo Marconi selected Cape Cod as the western point for his plan to span the Atlantic with a wire-less communication system. This daring proposal was beset by problems as it was put into effect. Marconibuilt two wireless stations, one at Poldhu in Southwest England and one in South Wellfleet.These elabo-rate antenna systems were both destroyed by gales in 1901 before they could be used by Marconi to estab-lish wireless communication across the Atlantic. A temporary antenna at Poldhu transmitted a signal thatwas heard by Marconi in St. John's, Newfoundland, on December 12, 1901.

In 1903, on January 18, Marconi, in South Wellfleet, using newly designed equipment, transmitted a wire-less message to Polhu addressed to King Edward VII. The King replied to President Theodore Rooseveltto complete the first exchange of wireless messages between the United States and England. A new era ofcommunication was born.

Although the 1903 station built by Marconi was undermined by erosion and dismantled in 1920, the siteis now marked by a shelter with a scale model of the station and historic details of the events that tookplace here. The Cape Cod National Seashore includes the location of the station from which Marconithrust forth the signal that reached across the ocean and set in motion events that would make the world amuch smaller place.
