Wrong, Len. It was in 1900. By 1906, two-way transatlantic voice radio
communication was being carried out.

Jimmie! Your Time Mashine got it all wrong. WRONG.

I would say his Time Machine is spot on. In 1900 Fessenden was working
for the U.S. Weather Bureau where he improved their Morse code system
for better weather forecasting and expermenting on his own transmitted
voice for a distance of over a mile. In 1903 he sent a voice message
over a distance of 50 miles and in 1906 he acheived *two-way* voice
transmissions between the Brant Rock Station in Massachusetts and
Machrihanish, Scotland.
Spured by the Titanic disaster, he developed a device to bounce radio
waves off iceburgs miles away. (the first RADAR maybe?)
