Marconi–RCA Wireless Receiving Station 1914, inventor Guglielmo Marconi sought a more permanent solution to his weather-induced radio station woes on Cape Cod. This need was made manifest by the damage and destruction wrought by nature at his original 1903 South Wellfleet location. The erosion and wind damage suffered by Marconi's first Cape Cod station continues to this day. Almost the entirety of the historic station is now long gone over the cliffs onto the beach and into the waters of the Atlantic below. It was with great foresight that Marconi realized that a permanent (by 1914 commercial) presence would require a more inland and
Invention of radio Marconi Company. When Lodge's syntonic patent was extended in 1911 for another 7 years Marconi agreed to settle the patent dispute and purchase the patent. In November 1894, the Indian physicist, Jagadish Chandra Bose, demonstrated publicly the use of radio waves in Calcutta, but he was not interested in patenting his work. Bose ignited gunpowder and rang a bell at a distance using electromagnetic waves, confirming that communication signals can be sent without using wires. He sent and received radio waves over distance but did not commercially exploit this achievement. Bose demonstrated the ability of the signal to travel from
