Hi Benji

"Broadcast entertainment really began in the USA in 1920. There, many
hundreds of stations were soon in operation, swamping the airwaves. In
Britain, the approach was more cautious. Experimental stations were tried at
the Marconi site at Chelmsford, Essex, in 1920 and in 1922 at Writtle, a
village nearby. This is the Writtle transmitter, callsign 2MT (see
http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/exhibitions/2lo/111.asp ) "

Good luck with your research paper (any chance of a copy?) and let me know
if you need more help.

Hello, My name is Benji Mallicoat, I am a journalism student at San
Jose State University. I am writing a research paper on the origins of
radio in the United States. The focus of the paper is specifically
regarding the locations of the first radio stations. Any information
you can give me will be extremely helpful, and greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Benji Mallicoat
