Abstract:

In December 2006, the world will mark the 100th anniversary of radio broadcasting. Inventor Reginald Fessenden, a radio pioneer, made the first broadcast. In 1900, he was hired by the U.S. Weather Bureau to solve one of its most serious problems - instant communication with remote observation stations on islands and ships. Frost describes how Fessenden and his team, working at Manteo, solved the problem.
