Hiking

The first transatlantic radio signal went from Poldhu Wireless Station to Guglielmo Marconi on Signal Hill in St. John's Newfoundland, Canada on December 12, 1901. The Marconi Center was built to commemorate this first transatlantic radio signal on December 12, 2001. At 4 p.m. local time, Lady Mary Holborrow, Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall, sent the three dots and the letter "s" was received at St John's, Newfoundland.

Very interesting historical place. On the pasture behind the small museum there are relics of the old radio station.
