Drumlemble pupils with BBC World Service's Richard Hollingham during a recent recording session  Friday, October 6, 2006 was Reginald Fessenden's 140th Birthday (born 1866) The group of radio enthusiasts who put on the trans-atlantic radio station event last January have been asked to repeat the function on Friday and Saturday, December 29 and 30, 2006 to link in with a big event in the U.S.A., sponsored by The American Radio Relay League, to celebrate The 100th Anniversary of The First Ever Advertised Broadcast of Speech and Music in The World.
The radio manufacturing company ICOM U.K are once again delighted to be lending the latest radio gear to the group - For the technically minded, we will be radiating 400 watts on speech on various shortwave bands but looking especially for U.S.A. contacts. It should also be possible for visitors to use the microphone, especially children.
This is building up to a large worldwide event and will certainly put Machrihanish on the map again.
