WCC (radio station)

In 1914, inventor Guglielmo Marconi sought a more permanent solution to his weather-induced radio station woes on Cape Cod.

Most of the 143 acres that comprised the Marion Station was donated to the Sippican Lands Trust in 1986 and is publicly accessible.

Even the keying of Morse Code (CW) and Radioteletype (RTTY) was issued remotely at this early date in the public internet's infancy.

[1] The callsign WCC is now used by Globe Wireless by a Maryland station it operates to transmit automated e-mail-by-radio.
