是个很著名的电台
at approximately 100 years old, (g)2yt is one of the earliest uk radio callsigns,issued within the first few years of the 20th century. the original holder was marconi's wireless telegraph company limited. it was the callsign of the poldhu radio station in cornwall, sw england. history was made from this site in 1901 by it becoming the ransmitter for the first successful transatlantic radio signal.
one of the engineers working at the poldhu radio station, was radio pioneer(callsign 'xzt' in 1912) mr crispin (cris) redshaw, later to become chief engineer of dorchester radio - imperial broadcasting company. cris became silent key in 1974 and his relatives asked me if i would like to resurrect the old call. having done this, i discovered its fascinating history. i am the fourth custodian of g2yt.
