On December 12, 1901, Guglielmo Marconi successfully received the first transatlantic wireless communication, a Morse code "S" (three dots), at 04:30 GMT. This article details the setup for this groundbreaking experiment, noting Marconi's receiver in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, utilized a _coherer_ and an antenna elevated by balloons and kites. The transmitting station at Poldhu, Cornwall, England, featured twenty-four 200-foot ships' masts and a 25-kilowatt alternator. The resource explains how this contact disproved contemporary beliefs about radio wave limitations due to Earth's curvature, later understood through _ionospheric propagation_. It frames Marconi's achievement as the "very first DX" in amateur radio terms, defining DX as telegraphic shorthand for distance and _DXing_ as the hobby of receiving distant signals. The article also provides external links for further reading on Marconi's experiments and the science behind transatlantic radio signal reception.
