First radio voice transmission was in 1906...

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.

No, it's quite right. You're the one who's wrong, Len.

"Always wrong" to Rev. Jim. :-)

Who?

"Two-way" in 1906?

Yes. Two way transatlantic in 1906. Voice radio transmission was first
demonstrated by Fessenden in 1900, not 1906.

Riiiiiight...real-time full duplex? Half duplex? Duplicity?

Sounds like you've had a couple doobies, Len ;-) ;-)

So, a big deal with everyone jumping on the bandwagon of voice
transmissions 1900 to 1906, right? :-)

You tell us - you brought it up. And you got the date wrong by six years.

You're reference is six years late. Simply wrong. In error. Mistaken.

Oooooooo! :-)

Good stuff in those doobies, huh? ;-) ;-)

When, between December 26 and 31 that
year?!?!?

Nope. November. Look it up.

So, the famous "Christmas Eve broadcast" didn't happen on Christmas
Eve?

Sure it did. It just wasn't the first radio voice transmission.

Real "high-tech" Tx there. A specially-designed carbon-pile mike
in the antenna feedline making a sort of AM. :-)

It worked.

You probably won't do that, because doing so would prove you to be wrong.

What "won't I do?" :-)

You won't look up the facts and admit your mistake.

Wrong yet again, Len! Are you going for a record?

No. You must be as judge, jury, executioner wanna-be, the Chief
Justice of the Ethnic Cleanser Corpse.

Not me. You.

Fessenden held an amateur license. He was a ham as well as a "pro".

Not in 1900 or 1906, Alex Trebek. WRONG.

I didn't say *when* he held the amateur license.

Tsk. You tried to connect the dots. :-)

You did.

NOBODY in the USA held ANY official civil radio license until 1912.

So what? Your high bias is showing, Len. Makes you run hot ;-) ;-)

I'm just stating a fact that is, most assuredly, very correct.

Maybe. Doesn't fix your mistake, though.

Just as you never said when
you were getting that Extra licesne out of its box.

Just as Reggie Fessenden never became a commercial success
in radio. He went broke more than Edison. Couldn't get enough
commercial backing.

You're no Fessenden, Len. ;-) ;-)

But, you MUST misdirect the subject thread into personalities of
the repliers...that's the only way you can save face in here. :-)

Gee. Len, I'm not the one calling people names and telling them to shut up. You
are.

1900 or 1906 is a long time ago, 104 to 98 years to be exact.

Then why did you bring it up?

You have an affinity for the old stuff.

Some old stuff. Not all old stuff.

All that "high tech" of old
technologically-primitive radio of nearly a century ago. Tsk, tsk.

You MUST misdirect the subject thread into personalities of
the repliers...that's the only way you can save face in here. :-)

Fessenden was 1XS and later VP9F. See:

Not before 1912 in the USA. :-)

He got his out of its box. You haven't.
