DISSAPPOINTING VISIT TO THE MARCONI CENTRE - WRONG WEBSITE INFORMATION
The Marconi Centre的点评
点评：Friday 25 August 2023, My husband and I went to visit ‘The Marconi Museum’ at Poldu Cove. This site is famous as the location of Poldhu Wireless Station, Guglielmo Marconi’s transmitter for the first transatlantic radio signal. In 1899 the Royal Navy had purchased three radios for their ships and several merchant ships followed suit. It was common belief that radio waves would travel around the earth's curvature but could only travel in straight lines. Marconi was determined to disprove this.
The station’s fifty acre plot was bought in 1900 and construction work ran from October 1900 to January 1901, designed by Marconi's senior engineer, R N Vyvyan, whilst Professor John Ambrose Fleming designed the transmitter. The original 20 mast circular cone shaped aerial was destroyed in a storm on 17 September 1901. For Marconi’s experiments a temporary installation of two 200 foot masts with a fan shaped aerial was used. The transmitter operated with a power of roughly 13 kW and a wavelength usually estimated at 366 metres.
Marconi and two assistants travelled to Newfoundland in December 1901 and on 12 December 1901 Guglielmo Marconi and his colleagues received an extremely short signal from Poldhu (three dots representing the code letter 's') whilst listening in at Signal Hill, St John's, Newfoundland and history was made.
SADLY THE WEBSITE INFORMATION WAS WRONG ON SEVERAL SITES, IT SAID IT WAS OPEN THE DAY WE WENT BUT IT WAS CLOSED.
Several other people came whist we were there who were also doomed to be disappointed as we were.
We did manage to walk around the grounds and look at the Marconi Memorial which was interesting. However, we would have like to visit The Marconi Centre.

翻译：2023 年 8 月 25 日星期五，我和丈夫去参观了波尔杜湾的“马可尼博物馆”。该地点因波尔杜无线站所在地而闻名，该站是古列尔莫·马可尼第一个跨大西洋无线电信号的发射机。 1899 年，英国皇家海军为其舰艇购买了三台无线电设备，几艘商船也纷纷效仿。人们普遍认为无线电波会绕地球曲率传播，但只能沿直线传播。马可尼决心反驳这一点。
该站占地 50 英亩的地块于 1900 年购买，建设工作从 1900 年 10 月至 1901 年 1 月进行，由马可尼的高级工程师 R N Vyvyan 设计，而发射机则由约翰·安布罗斯·弗莱明 (John Ambrose Fleming) 教授设计。最初的 20 根桅杆圆锥形天线在 1901 年 9 月 17 日的暴风雨中被毁。马可尼的实验使用了两根 200 英尺长的桅杆和扇形天线的临时装置。发射器的运行功率约为 13 kW，波长通常估计为 366 米。
马可尼和两名助手于 1901 年 12 月前往纽芬兰，1901 年 12 月 12 日，古列尔莫·马可尼和他的同事在信号山、圣约翰、纽芬兰和纽芬兰等地监听时收到了来自波尔杜的极短信号（三个点代表代码字母“s”）。历史被创造了。
遗憾的是，几个网站上的网站信息都是错误的，它说我们去的那天是开放的，但它已经关闭了。
我们在那里的时候还有其他几个人也来了，他们也注定会像我们一样失望。
我们确实绕着场地走了一圈，参观了马可尼纪念馆，这很有趣。然而，我们想去参观马可尼中心。
