	Marconi's Wellfleet (Cape Cod) Wireless - Stormfax®
		The South Wellfleet station was similar to the Poldhu one with a circular series of twenty 200-foot ship's masts set back 165 feet from the edge of the bluff.
		Storms blew down the aerials at Poldhu on September 17, 1901 and a Nor'easter toppled the aerials on Cape Cod on November 25th.
		The aerial at Poldhu was held aloft by a canvas kite.

	Historic Poldhu Wireless Station
		The remains of the long-defunct Poldhu Wireless Station are visible to the intrepid seeker of Marconi lore along a stunningly beautiful, yet rugged cliff top and within age-old stone walls that surround a cow pasture.
		Over the 1,800 miles from Poldhu to St. John's, the curvature of the earth would be analogous to crossing a mountain of water 125 miles high.
		We in amateur radio today are indebted to Marconi and his cohorts for their innovative approach, foresight, salesmanship, grueling work and tenacity to prove to the world that "wireless communication" was not only possible from a scientific and engineering standpoint, but was also commercially feasible.

	Radio's First Message -- Fessenden and Marconi
		The Poldhu transmitter was a curious two-stage circuit, in which a first-stage spark at some attainable lower voltage provided the energy for the second stage in tandem (Fig.
		The power capability of the Poldhu AC generator (25 amperes at 1500 volts) in 1901 was quite insufficient to recharge the condenser every period.
		At Poldhu Marconi quickly erected two masts and put up an aerial of 54 wires, spaced 1 metre apart, and suspended from a triadic stay stretched between these masts at a height of 45.7 m.

		Poldhu was bred to almost all of his female relatives and sired a number of Cornish Rex kittens.
		Pictures of Poldhu, unfortunately all in fl and white, show that he definitely had tabby markings.
		However, because Poldhu was owned by the noted experimental cat breeder Brian Sterling-Webb and had been examined by several geneticists, it seems reasonable to believe that he was indeed a bluecream.

	Guglielmo Marconi - The Next Threshold
		Land for the eastern station was found on a headland at Poldhu in the far southwest of England and land for the western station on a cliff-top near South Wellfleet on Cape Cod, close to the easternmost point in the United States.
		A 25 kw power plant was built at Poldhu together with a system of 20 200-foot masts arranged in a 200-foot diameter circle.
		Before the systems could be tested, they fell victim to the fierce weather in their exposed locations: first the almost completed Poldhu aerial toppled and the masts at Cape Cod collapsed a month later.

		We watched the Poldhu Hotel, build around 1900 to house the technicians, radio-operators and engineers who came to work together with Guglielmo Marconi, who was the inventive 27 year old Italian scientist who was the first to send a radio signal across the Atlantic.
		Later larger masts were erected at Poldhu and for many years the station was of great importance.
		The buildings were demolished in 1930, but some of the big foundations for the antennas can still be seen.Today an amateur radio club resides in some of the old cabins and a memorial stone for Marconi, his men and their pioneer work is erected at the place.

		A weak signal was received but disaster struck when the strong wind caused the balloon that was holding the aerial aloft to be lost.

		At Poldhu, the sending station, there was used practically the same apparatus as for the Newfoundland experiments.
		The Poldhu operators had returned to their labors, and Marconi, half way across the ocean, was getting the click every time they pressed the key and sent that enormous flash of energy across the sparkling gap of the transmitter.

		Marconi, who was in Newfoundland, had sent a message back to England, via the underwater telegraph cable, to tell the Poldhu transmitter to send radio signals between 12 noon and 3pm local time.
		Members of the Poldhu Amateur Radio Club will send the "s" signal across the water to radio enthusiasts in Newfoundland, just as Marconi did all those years ago.

		The system of vertical wires and the high power of the transmitting apparatus at Poldhu are lacking on the "Campania." Consequently, messages from the vessel would not be perceived at Poldhu.
		Hence, while messages or news might be received by the vessel from Poldhu, there would be no means of informing that station whether or not the message had been received on shipboard until the arrival of the ship at port.
		When, therefore, the news service is established, the dispatches from Poldhu will be cast upon the air, probably at prearranged hours, and all those who may be able to do so, whether equipped with the Marconi apparatus or not, may pick up the news.

		The fact that early breeders had bred Kallibunker and his son Poldhu to domestic shorthairs undoubtedly added to the heavier appearance of the breed in England.
		Poldhu, however, was a fertile blue-cream male, and after Kallibunker's untimely demise Poldhu sired a number of kittens.
		La Morna Cove, however, had been bred to her sire Poldhu before leaving England and two of her four kittens-Diamond Lil and Marmaduke-can be found as foundation stock in most pedigrees of American Cornish Rex.

	Top amateur radio expert detects Marconi experiment signal in P.E.I. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Jeff Briggs, a ham radio expert, says he had doubts Marconi achieved the feat until he listened in on the experiment, and heard the signal from Poldhu last week at his receiving station in Monticello, on the northeast coast of Prince Edward Island.
		Scientists in Newfoundland have set up a receiving station in the St. John's area, using a 150-metre antenna attached to a receiver the size of a pocketbook, to detect that code at 15-minute intervals.
		While he is now convinced, Briggs acknowledges skeptics within the amateur radio community will likely pounce on his claim, pointing to a range of variables that include his state-of-the art equipment versus Marconi's relatively primitive receiving station.
