Actually, the first radio station was on the West Coast. Still owned by
the same pinball machine company.

Can they both be the 'first'?



I suppose the title of 'first' depends upon how you define
'regularly scheduled' since Reginald Aubrey Fessenden was
undoubtedly the first man to transmit sound (mainly to very
surprised marine spark operators) via radio. That happened in 1900,
eight days before the dawn of the 20th century, and again with
better quality in 1906 -- but Fessenden's transmissions were
irregular experiments, repeated only a few times and not on any kind
of schedule.

It could be argued that Fessenden (who was also a pioneer in the
development of CW) was the inventor of both radiotelephone and
amplitude modulation. He also discovered the heterodyne principle,
very important for all of us here in rec.radio.shortwave!


With all good wishes,

IIRC, KDKA's claim to "first" refers to the first COMMERCIAL radio station.

That's right, my bad - the two big Texas "W"s west of the
Mississippi. I used to hear them quite well from Massachusetts 35
years ago. From California - not so much.

Massachusetts was a great place to hear AM BCB DX. I managed to get
almost every state in the lower 48, including California and
Washington, plus a bunch of Canadians across the prairie, on a Radio
Shack portable using just the internal ferrite bar. Everything east of
the Rockies was a cinch. Had I know then how to loop a wire aorund the
radio for added induction, who knows what else I could have grabbed.

Nobody aims their signals thisaway, I guess...
