In the Strand London speaking with the author nation that would soon become iconic here in the transmission. Heard the numbers certainly heard her confident current through her cover but how did that come about. Well it all comes back to the 1st World War and the sending of communications by radio waves. Following the 1st World War a small but loyal army of enthusiastic returned home excited at the prospect of this new technology they soon started setting up a network of radios and receivers in back bedrooms garden sheds and in fact anywhere they could get a signal on their homemade sets then the Marconi company gets involved and at the heart of their team a man called Peter Eckersley he soon gets bored of sending out repetitive test signals though seeing how far the signal can reach him what he could say and so instead starts telling jokes and singing to liven things up it went down a storm with enthusiastic but not so much with the post office who controlled the airwaves and in 1920 they ended up banning the station after a barrage of complaints over the post office were forced to reverse their decision but on one condition 'd radio needs to be regulated the post office then bringing a number of electrical firms together as a new entity is born the British Broadcasting Company they alone are granted the right to broadcast radio to the masses 2 then on a foggy 191922 the transmitter which took up pretty much most of the room crackled into life throwing the voice of affable Rose right across London soon after his voice is joined by a medley of others including news and weather and even music once the preserve of amateur radio enthusiastic radio becomes a high use old favorite with radio sets being the must have for any livingroom.
