Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor Brian (WA1ZMS), who writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What has now become an annual LF listening event, WI2XLQ (an FCC Experimental Callsign) will once again be QRV for a recreation of the alleged first voice transmission made by Reginald Fessenden in 1909. Transmission on 486kHz in full carrier AM will start at 22:00z on Dec 24th and run for 24hrs. In keeping with tradition, a repeat transmission will take place on Dec 31st at 22:00z and run for 24hrs. Further details about the Fessenden transmissions can be found in prior years of ARRL News.<\/p>\n

I look forward to tuning in each year. Thank you so much, Brian, for making this annual broadcast a reality!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
