El 2 de junio se conmemora el Día Mundial de Lucha contra la Miastenia Gravis, con la finalidad de sensibilizar y concienciar a la población acerca de una enfermedad neuromuscular rara y autoinmune, que afecta a miles de personas en el mundo. ¿Qué es la Miastenia Gravis? La Miastenia Gravis es una enfermedad autoinmune y neuromuscular crónica que se origina debido a un desorden en el sistema inmunológico, generando anticuerpos que interfieren con los receptores de los músculos, dañando la conexión entre la sustancia química que circula por las terminaciones nerviosas y los receptores. Esto ocasiona debilidad y mal funcionamiento de los músculos. Esta enfermedad rara puede afectar a personas de cualquier edad, siendo más común en mujeres jóvenes y hombres de edad avanzada. Se estima una incidencia de 20 casos por cada 100.000 habitantes. 1896 – Marconi patenta la radio.

Negativ publicitet. Svenskt Medium nyligen uthängd i lokalpress. Vi diskuterar hur medierna rapporterar om oss som har kontakt med Andevärlden. Vivi och Camilla delar med sig av egna erfarenheter.Soulphone. När är en visuell och auditiv kontakt med andra sidan verklighet? Mycket gränsöverskridande och innovativ forskning på teknologisk kontakt med andra sidan rör sig framåt. Thomas Edison försökte utveckla en "spirit finder" en andetelefon. Samma sak med Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla och Guglielmo Marconi. En forskning som tagits över av Gary E Schwartz och hans professionella team The Soul Phone Foundation. De menar sig stå i förbindelse med dessa avlidna vetenskapsmän, vars kända uppfinningar varit av kolossal betydelse. Vad få vet är att de även försökte utveckla en teknisk kontakt med andra sidan. Om vi överlever döden, kommer då vårt individuella jag finnas kvar? Med minnen, upplevelser, personlighet och karaktär? Detta är en av flera viktiga frågor som SoulPhone projektet undersökt sedan 1998 fram till nu. Under året förväntas ett antal viktiga publiceringar från SoulPhone Foundation.Dessutom tar vi oss an ett antal lyssnarfrågor som handlar om kontakt med Andra sidan och relaterat.God lyssning önskar Vivi och Camilla Hosted on Acast.

Frank welcomes back the prolific Leo Zagami, author of the Confessions of an Illuminati series, for his 2026 debut on the show. They open on the not-quite-a-raid at Tulsi Gabbard's ODNI office, the year-long CIA standoff over MK Ultra and COVID-era documents, and whether next month's hearing will actually pry anything loose. From there it's straight into Leo's lane. His upcoming book, The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda, sits at the center of the conversation, and he previews quite a bit: a 1933 UFO retrieval in Italy, Mussolini, Guglielmo Marconi's suppressed death ray, Jesuit astronomers as the real movers of UFO disclosure, and his claim that popes have had encounters of the second and third kind. He also walks through gatekeepers in the modern UFO movement and why interdimensional is the wrong word for what Timothy Alberino calls extradimensional. Then it gets darker: cyber Satan, the Order of Nine Angles, the corruption of the right of exorcism after Vatican II, Father Amorth, and King Charles announcing digital ID from the throne. Frank closes solo with thoughts on tech bros, the meek inheriting the earth, and a baby coconut on the way.
GB2RS News Sunday, the 19th of April 2026 The news headlines: The RSGB has published a question bank for full-level examinations Catch up with the RSGB 2026 AGM on YouTube The RSGB has announced two new youth team volunteers At its 2024 meeting, the RSGB Examination Standards Committee agreed, with Ofcom approval, to publish the Full level examination question bank after a thorough vetting of the questions by the Examinations and Syllabus Review Group had taken place. ESC Chair Tony Kent, G8PBH, is pleased to announce that the question bank is now available via rsgb.org/exam-questions. It will also be accessible via links on the RSGB web pages for exam candidates and trainers. The copyright to the question bank is held by the RSGB. Developed by Aubrey, M8AUB, the user interface works on PCs and mobile devices with a web browser. It allows users to access questions in different ways, for example, by syllabus section, and even to create and take their own mock examinations. The Society believes this initiative will make a significant contribution to training and should become a valuable resource for both candidates and trainers. After it has had time to assess its impact at Full level, the ESC will consider rolling it out to the other examination levels of Foundation, Intermediate and Direct to Full. As candidates and trainers will now be able to use the interface to generate their own mock examinations from the question bank, the RSGB has removed all the Full Licence level mock papers currently on its website. If you encounter any issues with the questions or the question bank interface web page, please report them via the online examination informal query form. You can find this at the bottom of the exam forms web page at rsgb.org/exam-forms The RSGB would like to thank everyone who joined the RSGB 2026 AGM, which was held online yesterday, 18 April. If you missed the live event, you're able to watch the full livestream on the Society's YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB As well as the formal AGM business, there was a special message from the RSGB President, and the Board answered questions from RSGB members on a wide range of topics. The AGM was followed by a presentation on the Society's work to defend the spectrum and ensure that radio amateurs can enjoy amateur radio across the bands. If you would like to read more about the RSGB's work in protecting the spectrum, including successes in spectrum access and defence, as well as current concerns, visit rsgb.org/spectrum-protection. Winners of the RSGB 2026 Construction Competition and the RSGB Trophies were also announced. Timestamps will be available in the video summary on YouTube, allowing you to skip to particular sections you wish to watch. Go to rsgb.org/agm to find out more about the AGM, including personal statements from the newly elected and nominated Board Directors, as well as the Regional Representatives. The RSGB is delighted to announce two new volunteer youth team roles as it continues to grow and strengthen its support for young radio amateurs across the UK. Leon Shaw, M0VUF, will be the Youth Vice Chair, working closely with the Youth Chair Chris Aitken, MM0WIC to help guide and develop the expanding Youth Team. Sophie Bourne, M9LBW, will collaborate with Chris over the coming months with the intention of taking on full responsibility for the Youth Champion for Schools role later this year. Both Leon and Sophie represented the RSGB at last year's YOTA summer camp, supported the Youth stand at the RSGB 2025 Convention and took part in a Tonight@8 episode to share their experiences of amateur radio and how it has shaped their interests. Sophie also brought fresh ideas to the recent RSGB Membership Strategy Workshop, which will help to shape future youth engagement. The RSGB National Radio Centre will be closed to visitors on Monday, the 27th and Tuesday, the 28th of April 2026, due to essential maintenance work taking place. RSGB volunteers look forward to welcoming you on an alternative day. Don't forget that if you are an RSGB member, you can receive free entry to Bletchley Park, which includes the RSGB National Radio Centre, by downloading and printing a personalised voucher at rsgb.org/bpvoucher International Marconi Day is on Saturday, the 25th of April.

Using 75 baud RTTY on the 80 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is your six-character locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday, the 16th of April 2026. Last week was characterised by a low Kp index and an equally low solar flux index. The Kp index was predominantly below 2 all week, thanks to a lack of Earth-directed CMEs or coronal holes. Unfortunately, that is about to change. The solar index has been consistently around the 100 mark, dipping as low as 93 on the 11th and only as high as 105 on Thursday, the 16th of April. This has meant settled ionospheric conditions that have not been outstanding but have at least been reliable. The maximum usable frequency, or MUF, over a 3,000km path has reached 24MHz at times, but often battles to reach 21MHz. This is a taste of things to come over the next few years as we descend towards sunspot minimum. The settled conditions mean, however, that there has been DX to work. The CDXC Slack group reports FT8 and CW contacts with 3X3A in Guinea on the 17, 15 and 12m bands. 3B9G in Mauritius has been logged on the 15m band using CW. D60DX in Comoros was worked on the 15m band using CW. Another DX includes 9V1DW in Singapore on the 17m band and TN8GD in the Republic of the Congo on the 20m band using CW. Now the bad news. A very large coronal hole on the Sun is rotating to become Earth-facing. A high-speed solar wind stream flowing from this zone reached the Earth last Friday, the 17th of April. Active Kp4 and minor G1 geomagnetic storming may be possible today, the 19th of April. So, we can expect reduced MUFs and poorer HF conditions. DXpeditions active this week include V47EM on St Kitts and Nevis; OX3LX from Greenland; T31TTT in Central Kiribati, TX9W from the Marquesas Islands; D60DX in Comoros and 3X3A in Guinea. NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will climb next week, perhaps reaching a high of 145 by Thursday, the 23rd of April. After the geomagnetic disturbances from the coronal hole die down, we may have two or more days of settled conditions before more disruption around Saturday, the 25th of April. This is coupled with a predicted Kp index of 4 – just in time for International Marconi Day! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The main note on the weather influence is that once high pressure becomes established at this time of the year, it can be remarkably persistent. In this case, the high pressure that is now developing over the UK may remain in control until the end of the month. Tropo will therefore be a mode of choice, but a cool north or north-easterly flow over the eastern side of the country will mean that western Britain fares best for any lift conditions. Over eastern areas, a cool northerly breeze will bring cloud and a few showers. The prospects for aurora are still worth checking out by noting the Kp index for values above 5 and preferably above 7. As we reported earlier, the effects of a large coronal hole may be reaching us today, the 19th. So, check the Kp index and listen for fluttery signals on the HF bands. Then get ready to turn your VHF beams northeast. As for meteor scatter, we are now coming up to the peak of the April Lyrids on Wednesday, the 22nd of April. We should see some activity increase beyond the random fare of recent weeks. In contrast, rain scatter may not be a good option with high pressure, or just isolated showers, not offering much for the microwave bands. We are rapidly heading towards May, when the prospects for Sporadic-E start to be worth checking. In the coming week, there are not too many suitable jet streams, which can be good regions to check for Sporadic-E. To get into practice for the new season, check the Sporadic-E blog on propquest.co.uk for a jet stream map and look for spikes in the foEs trace on the graphs. The site is currently being worked on, so apologies for any dropouts. An update on EME prospects now. Moon declination reaches a maximum on Tuesday, the 21st of April. Moon perigee, its closest point to Earth, is today, Sunday, the 19th of April, so path losses will be at a minimum. Sky noise is slightly higher on Tuesday, the 21st of April, but this is minor and returns to low again on Friday, the 24th of April. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
Our moment-by-moment retrospective of British broadcasting has reached the BBC's first birthday - 14 November 1923. We started covering that first year back on episode 18! It's taken a while to get here - but what a year it was. From the first BBC news bulletin, songs and children's programmes to outside broadcasts, simultaneous broadcasting, new stations in Scotland and Wales, a government enquiry, new premises, wireless manhunts, the Radio Times and so much more, we've covered the lot across nearly 100 episodes. This episode we lead up to the first birthday with plans for the pips, a Shakespearean anniversary, and a raucous farewell do for Marconi boss Godfrey Isaacs. Then the birthday broadcast features speeches from John Reith and Guglielmo Marconi - hear some of that this episode, as well as reflections from Birmingham station chief Percy Edgar. Some lovely voices from the archive here - including Reith, Edgar and Peter Eckersley, who wrote all of the early BBC birthday broadcast shows, achieving the impossible: making John Reith laugh.

Il 6G, il prossimo protocollo di rete mobile che nelle previsioni inizierà ad essere introdotto a partire dal 2030, rappresenterà una discontinuità importante rispetto al passato: sostituirà l'attuale paradigma di reti di telecomunicazione sovrapposte, sostituendole con un unico "tessuto di telecomunicazione". Ingloberà, cioè, tecnologie wireless che oggi non si parlano (come il wi-fi e la rete cellulare) e segnerà la convergenza tra reti di telecomunicazioni e reti di sensori. Si parla infatti di tecnologia ICAS, che sta per Integrated Communication and Sensing, in cui, come sperimentato con successo dall'Università di Bologna, uno stesso dispositivo funge sia da antenna per trasmettere i dati sia da sensore capace di individuare, mappare e tracciare oggetti a distanza. Ne parliamo con Roberto Verdone, professore del Dipartimento "Guglielmo Marconi" dell'Università di Bologna e direttore del WiLab.
Il 13 febbraio si celebra la Giornata Mondiale della Radio, istituita dalle Nazioni Unite nel 2012. La radio è presente nella vita di milioni di persone, è in continua evoluzione, esiste e resiste fra diversi mezzi e strumenti di comunicazione. Nel corso degli anni si era immaginato un suo naturale declino, eppure la radio si mantiene sempre e ancora al passo con i tempi. La radio, insomma, è più viva che mai ed è stata brillantemente capace di superare, adeguandosi, aggiornandosi e trasformandosi, tutte le rivoluzioni tecnologiche e massmediatiche che hanno trasformato il nostro mondo e la nostra società. Insomma, siamo sempre ascoltati e chi ci segue lo può fare dappertutto, utilizzando non soltanto la classica radio, ma oggi anche diversi altri supporti come il telefonino, il PC o un qualsiasi altro dispositivo tecnologico connesso. Quali sono, secondo voi, i segreti della sua eterna giovinezza e del suo costante successo? Ne parliamo nella puntata odierna con Renato Ramazzina, presidente dell'Associazione Museo della Radio al Monte Ceneri, con il quale ripercorriamo la storia della radio, dalla sua nascita con Guglielmo Marconi alla fine dell'Ottocento fino all'evoluzione tecnologica che l'ha mantenuta attuale e affascinante in un lungo e altrettanto affascinante viaggio fra passato, presente e futuro di un mezzo di comunicazione intramontabile. La radio: la storia di una voce, le voci di una storia.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 8th of January 2026 Now that the dust has settled after the New Year's celebrations, we can get back to our regular propagation reports. The New Year has started with minor disturbed geomagnetic conditions at times, plus lots of C-class solar flares, and a healthy dose of sunspots. As we slide down the slope towards sunspot minimum, we can expect more geomagnetic disturbances and raised Kp indices. But we should still have good HF conditions for a couple of years. The Kp index hit 5 on the 2nd of January, but has otherwise been relatively quiet, often registering less than 1 or 2. And the lack of M- and X-class solar flares means we have had no solar fade-outs. With the solar flux index at more than 150 for much of the time, this bodes well for HF propagation and, as Propquest shows, the maximum usable frequency over 3,000km during daylight has often been more than 28MHz. Unfortunately, this does decline quite quickly after sunset, leaving the maximum usable frequency below 10MHz most of the time. As we head towards spring, we can expect this to improve. DX has been available. Stations worked include V51WH in Namibia on the 12m band using SSB, TZ4AM in Mali on 30m using CW, and ZS7ANF in Antarctica using CW on the 17m band. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 130 to 150 range. Geomagnetic conditions are forecast to be variable, with the Kp index predicted to hit 5 on the 13th and 14th of January, and again between the 17th and 20th of January. So, we recommend you get your HF DXing in before the 13th and around the 15th and 16th, as propagation and maximum usable frequencies will no doubt be affected if the Kp index rises. With the three-week 3Y0K Bouvet Island DXpedition set for early February, now may be a good time to sort out your antennas. Remember that Bouvet is almost due south from the UK, so plan accordingly. More propagation details will be made available nearer the time And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The unsettled weather pattern continues to provide a variety of challenging weather types with heavy snow and rain, plus strong winds at times. The nature of such patterns in January is that the timing and track of the lows are critical for the rain and snow outcome. Overall, it's likely to be a cold-system week with occasional brief milder interludes as Atlantic fronts move through in the middle of the coming week. The effect on VHF and UHF propagation is limited with tropo unlikely, but there is a significant chance of rain or snow scatter at times for GHz operators. There have been some slight increases in the Earth's Kp index, which responds to solar activity. However, as we are between the peak periods of autumn and spring for aurora, it's probably not a major player this time. Meteor scatter has been a bit more interesting lately due to the peak of the Quadrantids meteor shower on the 4th of January. The shower has a short, intense peak, but spans the period from the 28th of December to the 12th of January. The next major shower isn't until April, so it's back to random activity from this weekend through to the late April Lyrids. Lastly, a reminder that mid-winter Sporadic-E does happen. The 6th of January saw a nice early evening 6m band opening to the Baltic states, moving round to Ukraine and the Balkans later. Recent Quadrantids meteors may have contributed some long-lived metallic ions, which can be focused into thin Sporadic-E patches. It's always worth checking the Sporadic-E Layer Critical Frequency values plotted on the Propquest graphs for short spikes in the purple trace, which could be a sign of potential interest in Sporadic-E on the 10 and 6m bands. For EME operators, Moon declination is negative again, and we are past perigee, so path losses are increasing, and Moon window length and peak elevation are reducing. 144MHz sky noise remains low but rising to high by Friday the 16th. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast from Buzz Knight music and the “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive look at weekly music history explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. For listeners of this weekly music history episode note the Buzz Knight music podcast replay of "Takin A Walk" with the incredible Julian Lennon. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio. This historical perspective reminds listeners that music distribution, radio broadcasting, and the entire infrastructure of modern music industry traces back to pioneering moments like Marconi’s transmission. The evolution of radio technology from those first signals to contemporary podcast production represents over a century of innovation that transformed how humans experience and share music globally. The Clash’s London Calling: Punk’s Masterpiece - December 14, 1979 December 14, 1979 saw the Clash release “London Calling” in the UK, a double album that transcended punk rock limitations to incorporate reggae, rockabilly, ska, and R&B influences. The hosts recall the album’s innovative approach, including the hidden track “Train in Vain,” which became a hit despite not being listed on the original album cover—a marketing trick that created mystique and rewarded attentive listeners.

La historia de la radio comienza a finales del siglo XIX con experimentos sobre ondas electromagnéticas. Se considera a Guglielmo Marconi el pionero por demostrar la comunicación inalámbrica, enviando la primera señal a través del Atlántico en 1901. Sin embargo, hay un debate histórico, ya que Nikola Tesla también presentó patentes relacionadas, y la Corte Suprema de EE.UU. reconoció la primacía de Tesla en 1943, aunque esto no le resta mérito a las demostraciones de Marconi. La primera transmisión de voz se realizó en 1906, y a principios del siglo XX, la radio se consolidó como un medio de comunicación masivo para informar y entretener, con géneros como la radionovela y los noticieros ganando popularidad.
Nel 1933, quattordici anni prima del caso Roswell, in Italia si sarebbe schiantato un misterioso oggetto volante: l'UFO del Duce.Secondo alcuni documenti “segreti” emersi negli anni '90, Benito Mussolini e Guglielmo Marconi avrebbero addirittura istituito un comitato segreto (il Gabinetto RS/33) per studiare il relitto e i presunti “piloti non umani” trovati a bordo.Ma cosa c'è di vero in questa storia? È davvero accaduto o è solo una delle bufale più affascinanti del secolo?In questo video analizziamo l'intera leggenda dell'UFO fascista, ricostruendo i fatti storici, i documenti di Pinotti e Lissoni, e il contesto politico e scientifico dell'Italia di Mussolini.Vedremo cosa dicono le fonti ufficiali, le smentite del CISU e degli storici, e come questa vicenda si intreccia con miti come Roswell, Majestic-12 e la corsa agli UFO durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
Foundations of Amateur Radio If you use a word often enough it starts to lose its meaning. The other day, during breakfast, well, coffee, whilst playing one of our start-the-day with a smile word games, the word "RADIO" turned up. I grinned and pointed out that this was my favourite word, to which my partner mentioned that in Italian, it's referred to as "La Radio", which made us both wonder where it actually came from, did the Italian language import the word, or export it, given that Guglielmo Marconi was Italian? A quick search advised us that it came from Latin, radius, meaning "spoke of a wheel", "beam of light" or "ray". Fully enlightened we finished our coffee and got on with our day .. except I couldn't stop thinking about this. Having recently spent some quality time looking into the history of the RF Circulator, I figured searching the patent records might be a solid way to get some handle on where this word "radio" came from. Initially Google Patent search unearths the oldest as being from 1996, not very helpful. Adding 1900 as the end date filter turns up a radio cabinet patent with a filing date of 1833, except that it was published and granted in 1931, which is confirmed by the patent itself. This level of corruption in the data affects at least a dozen patents, but I daresay that there's plenty more like that. 1857 turns up a patent with the word "broadcasting", in the context of "broadcasting guano", so, nothing much has changed in nearly 170 years, but I digress. Adding quotes to the search term unearths a patent from 1861, apparently iron roads, locomotives, large slopes and small radio curves relates to the other meaning of the word radius, in Spanish. 1863 gives us ruffle stitching, "made upon the radio", but the patent is so corrupt that it's pretty much unreadable. 1871 unearths an electromagnetic engine, but the text has so much gibberish that I suspect that the word "radio" is a happy accident. 1873 shows us a "Wireless signalling system", bingo, the patent shows us transmitter and receiver circuits, antennas, messages and frequencies and a whole bunch of relevant radio information, except that the date on the patent itself is 1919. And you wonder why people argue about who invented what when? I'll spare you the gas apparatus, petrol lamps with cigar cutter, running gear for vehicles and bounce to 1897, "Method of and apparatus for converting x-rays into light for photographic purposes", the first occurrence of "radio", in the form of "radiograph", complete with pictures of the bones of a hand drawn meticulously from presumably an x-ray. I confess I'm not convinced. Using the United States Patent and Trademark Office search for the word radio gives you 54,688 pages with 2.7 million records, ordered in reverse chronological order with no way to skip to the last page. The World Intellectual Property Organisation finds the same Spanish iron paths patents, but unearths "A Differential Arrangement for Radio Controlled Race Cars" from 1900, but inside we discover it's really from 1979. Seems this level of corruption is endemic in the patent field, wonder who's benefiting from this misinformation? Meanwhile, still looking, I discovered the Oxford English Dictionary, which claims that the earliest known use of the word "radio" is in the 1900's, but the earliest evidence is from 1907 in a writing by "L. De Forest", but you are granted the privilege of paying them to actually see that evidence .. really? On 18 July 1907, Lee de Forest, made the first ship-to-shore transmissions by radiotelephone, which adds some credence to the claim, but I have to tell you, I'm not particularly convinced. Taking a different approach, starting at Guglielmo Marconi, his first efforts in 1894 showed the wireless activation of a bell on the other side of the room. Six months later he managed to cross 3 kilometres realising that this could become capable of longer distances. The Italian Ministry of Post and Telegraphs didn't respond to his application for funding, so in 1896, at the age of 21, moving to Great Britain, he arrived in Dover where the customs officer opened his case to find various apparatus, which were destroyed because they could be a bomb. Lodging a patent "Improvements in Transmitting Electrical impulses and Signals, and in Apparatus therefor", was the first patent for a communication system on radio waves. It was granted a year later. One problem. It doesn't have the word "radio" in it, instead it talks about "a Hertz radiator", so close. So, we've narrowed it down to somewhere between 1896 and 1907, that's an 11 year window. Some observations. De Forest founded a company called "the Radio Telephone And Telegraph Company". It's unclear exactly when this happened, it collapsed in 1909 and was founded after disagreement with management of his previous company, apparently on 28 November 1906. A quick aside, apparently in 1881, Alexander Graham Bell used the word radiophone for the first time, which he used to refer to a system that used light to transmit wirelessly, he also referred to it as a photophone. You could argue that because light and radio are the same thing, this is the first legitimate use of the word "radio" in the context of communication, but I'm not buying it. I'll leave you with the discovery that on 30 December 1904, the British Post Office published a "Post Office Circular" with the instructions to use the word "Radio" in the service instructions, think of it as the metadata associated with a telegram. This information has been repeated often without evidence. If you're keen, the Postal Museum is located in Phoenix Place, London. I've contacted them to see if that particular Circular is in their possession. Amazingly the "Post Office Circulars" have been digitised between 1666 and 1899. So close, but no cigar, that said, I looked for the elusive Volume 7 of the set to see if there were any straggling references to "radio", but couldn't confirm this. The Postal Museum Catalogue returns plenty of early references to radio, but it's hard to tell what's real and what's written after the fact. Anyone know of any research grants that will allow me to dig into this on-site, feel free to get in touch, oh, a bed would be good too .. I think this might take a while. At the moment, the best I have is an uncorroborated "30 December 1904" for the origin of the word "Radio", in English, in other words, it was imported into Italian. No sign of Marconi, Bell, or De Forest. I'm Onno VK6FLAB
Zwischen Eisbergen, Walen und Windgeschichten: Diese Episode nimmt dich mit auf eine Reise an den östlichsten Punkt Nordamerikas – nach Neufundland. Hier, wo Guglielmo Marconi 1901 das erste transatlantische Funksignal empfing, treffen Geschichte, Natur und Pioniergeist aufeinander.Wir folgen den Spuren der Wikinger in L'Anse aux Meadows, besuchen den legendären Flughafen von Gander, wo einst Elvis und Frank Sinatra an der Bar standen, und tauchen ein in das heutige Inselleben zwischen Fischerei, Designhotels und Eisberg-Bier.Mit dem Archäologen Duane Collins erkunden wir die Küsten der Bonavista Bay, lernen, was Shark-Tagging ist, und erfahren, wie indigene Spuren langsam vom Meer verschluckt werden. Später kochen wir mit Crystal Anstey am Strand, geniessen Hummer und Muscheln direkt aus dem Atlantik – und verstehen, warum Neufundland kein Ort für Eile ist.Zum Schluss wartet ein architektonisches Highlight: das spektakuläre Fogo Island Inn, Symbol für nachhaltigen Tourismus und kulturelle Wiederbelebung am Rand der Welt.

Tonight, we unravel a forgotten chapter of history that blurs the lines between science and the supernatural. Visionary inventors—Thomas Edison, Guglielmo Marconi, and Nikola Tesla—all giants of innovation, spent their final years chasing one extraordinary goal: building machines to communicate with the dead.Were they madmen… or did they uncover something we're still not ready to understand?In this episode, we explore the mystery of spirit communication technology, the hidden experiments of the early 20th century, and why some believe the veil between worlds was almost pierced by electricity itself. We'll dive into paranormal science, EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), psychic technology, afterlife experiments, and the chilling possibility that contact with the other side was closer than anyone imagined.If you're fascinated by hauntings, spiritualism, forbidden inventions, and the hidden obsessions of history's greatest minds, you won't want to miss this electrifying deep dive.The truth is stranger than fiction—and some messages never die.

Acquista Il Libro: https://amzn.to/4c9itUD Il 5 marzo del 1896 Guglielmo Marconi depositò la richiesta provvisoria di brevetto della radio, e il 12 febbraio 1931 fu inaugurata Radio Vaticana. Un dubbio, però, persisteva nella mia mente: come era riuscito Marconi a costruire la radio avendo conseguito solo la licenza elementare? C'erano altri aiutanti oltre i nomi noti? Sono entrata nell'Archivio Apostolico (ex “Segreto”) Vaticano con l'intento di rispondere a queste domande. Non ho trovato le risposte, ma ho trovato altro: esiste un fascicolo dedicato al cosiddetto “Raggio della Morte” e la storia è ben diversa da come la conosciamo. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode links together one of the most important inventions in all of maritime technology with one of the most notorious murders in history. In 1910 Dr Hawly Crippen killed his wife Cora in their London home and buried her dismembered body under the floor of his basement. As the net closed in, Crippen ran and he sought his escape by sea, aboard the ss Montrose, a fairly run of the mill steamship, but crucially one that was equipped with the Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi's new and world-changing invention, wireless telegraphy. To put the necessary ingredients of this fabulous story in order, Dr Sam Willis travelled to the archives of the Lloyd's Register Foundation to meet their head archivist, Max Wilson. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 92 The First Sports Broadcasts: from 'Yachts Slowly Drifting' to MCR21 Our moment-by-moment origin story of British broadcasting reaches 6th June 1923 - and what's sometimes thought to be the BBC's first sports broadcast: author Edgar Wallace giving his 'reflections on the Derby'... ...The trouble is, it wasn't the BBC's first sports broadcast. But then... what is a sports broadcast? A live commentary? Or will a later summary do? Or how about a police radio transmission, where the Epsom Derby winner happens to be mentioned for anyone listening to hear? This episode we bring you the tales of every early landmark sports broadcast we know about, including: Special guest Nick Gilbey, trustee of the Broadcasting Television Technology Trust and one of the doer-uppers of the mighty MCR21 mobile control room van, first built in 1963, and now looking snappier than ever. The BBC's actual first sports broadcaster - forgotten for a century - Willie Clissett, on Cardiff 5WA with a weekly 'Chat on Sport of the day' from 2 April 1923. Was it rugby? Let's say yes. It was Wales. How jockey Steve Donoghue somehow became Britain's first broadcast sports champion... ion 3 occasions across 3 different years. He was on Britain's first sports broadcast, winning 1921's Epsom Derby. Edgar Wallace reported on his win at 1923's Epsom Derby. And his win was shouted on-air by a passerby, upsetting the press, at 1925's Epsom Derby. Three different horses, three landmark broadcasts, one incredible jockey. The boxing and billiards on London 2LO in 1922. Early clips of Wimbledon, the Boat Race and the Derby. And was the first sports broadcast Marconi's 1899 Morse message 'Yachts Slowly Drifting'? In which case, was the first sports broadcaster actually Guglielmo Marconi himself?! Correct us on any of the above! Seriously. Please do. We want this to be an accurate record of events!

Army and Navy radio stations around the world had something extra to listen for 100 years ago this week: Mars. The Red Planet was passing closer to Earth than it had in centuries. A retired astronomer thought that Martians might take advantage of the encounter to beam greetings to the neighbors. So he organized an effort to hear the transmissions. David Todd had led the astronomy program at Amherst College in Massachusetts. Most scientists of the day said there was no chance of a Martian civilization, but Todd disagreed. Radio pioneers Nicola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi had reported hearing odd signals from space several years earlier. Some interpreted the signals as broadcasts from Mars. And Percival Lowell had created maps of Martian “canals” – built to bring water from the polar ice caps to a dying civilization. All of that convinced Todd that it was worth listening for Martian broadcasts. Todd asked radio stations to go silent for five minutes of every hour for several nights. Only one complied – station WRC, in Washington, D.C. But technicians at other stations listened for odd signals. The military instructed its radio operators to listen as well, but only if it didn’t interfere with normal operations. And it made its leading cryptographer available to decode any Martian messages. Todd also enlisted the help of a television pioneer, and we’ll have more about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

From Static to Stations: The Birth of Radio - Clash of the Titans! Forget Batman vs. Superman, it's Tesla vs. Marconi! Grandpa Bill takes you on a high-voltage journey through the early days of radio, where sparks flew not just from equipment, but between two brilliant inventors: Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi. We'll delve into their groundbreaking ideas, bitter rivalries, and the race to claim the title of "Father of Radio." Get ready for a tale of ambition, innovation, and accusations of patent theft! We'll explore the key differences in their approaches, from Tesla's focus on continuous waves to Marconi's reliance on modified Hertzian waves. We'll also unpack the complex legal battles that raged for years, leaving many to ask: who truly invented radio? But wait, there's more! This episode isn't just about two egos clashing. We'll examine the broader context of the time, including the impact of scientific discoveries and the race for technological dominance. And of course, we'll ask the question that still sparks debate today: Whom deserves the credit for ushering in the age of radio? Spark your inner history buff with these thought-provoking questions: Do you think Tesla or Marconi's approach was more instrumental in the development of radio? Why? Beyond the technical aspects, what factors do you think influenced who ultimately received credit for the invention? If you could travel back in time and mediate the conflict, what would you say?

In 1996, a strange series of documents were delivered to several Italian media outlets and UFO researchers, purporting to reveal the existence of a secretive investigative committee that looked into sightings of unconventional aerial vehicles during the 1930s and 40s. Called RS/33 Cabinet, the alleged UFO study group was purportedly led by Guglielmo Marconi under the direction of Italy's fascist regime under Benito Mussolini. Recently, the claims involving an alleged UFO crash that occurred in 1933 near Magenta, Italy, have received renewed scrutiny after they were cited amidst claims of a UAP coverup by whistleblower David Grusch.
