Rename?[edit]

This article is misnamed. It is not a definition or description of a "Marconi station". What it is is a list of Marconi stations. So I suggest it be renamed List of Marconi stations or List of Marconi wireless stations, to comply with LISTNAME. --ChetvornoTALK 09:59, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Short Wave Beam Stations[edit]

The Marconi company was the first to fully exploit short wave wireless telegraphy. Developed mainly by CS Franklin the short wave systems used highly directive broadside beam antennas and 20kW transmitters. Under a contract to the British GPO for the Empire system, the first transmitting station was built at Bodmin for communications with Canada and S.Africa with a corresponding receiving station at Bridgwater and a second transmitting station was build at Tetney for communication with India and Australia and the corresponding receiving station was build near Skegness. These stations proved the viability of world wide shortwave telecommunications and the Marconi Co. built further stations at Dorchester (tx) and Somerton (rx) for commercial operations to USA, Brazil, Argentina, Egypt and Japan and the Marconi longwave stations at Ongar (tx) and Brentwood (rx) were shortly afterwards fitted with Short Wave Beam Systems. Shortwave Beam systems were also built by Marconi in the Empire countries and many other countries, notably for Portuguese and Spanish colonial systems. Due to competition with the Empire cable systems, which nearly bankrupted the cable companies, the UK government forced a merger in the UK of cables and wireless which became the well known Cable & Wireless company. Just before WW2 C&W instigated a rationalisation of the UK radio stations resulting in the closure of Caernarfon, Tetney, Skegness and Bridgwater, with all traffic passing through either the Dorchester/Somerton or Ongar/Brentwood stations. Bodmin was transferred to the Admiralty for naval communications. After WW2, in 1950 the UK radio stations of C&W were nationalised by the Attlee Labour government and so came under Post Office control. Interestingly Bodmin was passed back to the GPO although was contracted to provideNaval comms. It finally ceased operation for the Navy in 2002 and has the distinction of being the first purpose built short wave radio communication station to open and being the last to close.
