1901: Marconi receives the first transatlantic radio signal.

Rather topical, on this day in 1987, U.S. secretary of state, George Shultz, calls on European allies to increase NATO defence spending.
On this day in 1913, the ' Mona Lisa' was recovered in Florence, 2 years after having been stolen from the Louvre. ......I've seen the thing a few times & it's just a dull, uninteresting little painting, no idea why everyone gets so excited by it.
On this day in 1970, this became numero uno in the pop charts.
...oday in 1917, a priest called Flanagan founded the famous home known as Boys Town, which was memorialized by Mickey Rooney and Spencer Tracy in the 1938 movie of the same name

That is a long way for a radio signal to carry.1896 Marconi gave the first public demonstration of radio at Toynbee Hall, London. On the same day, in 1901, Marconi carried out the first transatlantic radio transmission from Poldhu, Cornwall, to St John’s, Newfoundland, a distance of 1800 miles.
Re-Frank Sinatra.
No, the single letter S isn't very entertaining. But when one gets the dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot that is most entertaining. Especially entertaining when most of our radio communication is done with speech and not morse code.That signal wasn't very entertaining -- the Morse code letter "S," three dots repeated.
The state of radio programming nearly a century and a quarter later does not suggest an overall improvement.
You are right, very entertaining indeed.No, the single letter S isn't very entertaining. But when one gets the dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot that is most entertaining.

Yes, this is the way to do it. Separate the words with "/" Makes for a much easier translation as the words don't run together... / .-. . .- .-.. .-.. -.-- / .-.. .. -.- . / ...- .- -. .. .-.. .-.. .-
