Reportedly, maybe, Guglielmo Marconi tuned in three clicks on Dec. 12, 1901, using a 152.4-metre (500 ft) kite-supported antenna for reception, to receive at Signal Hill in St John's, Newfoundland (now part of Canada) signals transmitted by the company's new high-power station at Poldhu, Cornwall in the UK, for the first transatlantic wireless communication. This evening we will tune in to Marconi tributes, performances, inventions, and ideas. Tributes include Neptune's "Marconi's Belief," radio dramas starring Marconi as a character, and Marconi-inspired performances.
