Remembering Reginald Fessenden

Now an annual Christmas tradition, Brian Justin (WA1ZMS) will put his Long Wave experimental station WI2XLQ on the air to commemorate the anniversary of Reginald Fessenden’s first audio transmission.

As in years past, he will be conducting the Fessenden transmission on Christmas Eve, as well as New Year’s Eve. The plan is to start each day around 1800z and run for 24 hours. Listener reports may be sent to Brian Justin, WA1ZMS, at his QRZ.com address.
