Amateur radio - GB100 2MT marking the Centenary of British Broadcasting  View Printable Version 
Friday, February 11 2022

bclnews
On 14th February 1922 the Marconi Company began to broadcast a five
minute programme of speech and music within the weekly half hour
calibration transmission. The broadcasts were made weekly on Tuesday
made using the callsign 2MT from an ex-army hut in the village of
Writtle near Chelmsford. Initially the station had only 200 Watts and
transmitted on 700m (428 kHz) using an inverted-L antenna.

The enthusiastic team, led by Captain Peter Eckersley, assembled their
transmitter together with a gramophone player, microphone, and on
occasions a piano from the local public house, to entertain listeners.
The regular announcement; "This is Two Emma Toc, Writtle testing,
Writtle testing", became quite well known.

This was the first regular wireless broadcast for entertainment in the
UK and its success provided the foundation for the formation of the BBC
later in 1922.

Members of Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) will operate a
special event station to commemorate this historic event. A special
callsign, GB100-2MT, is active during February - and on 14th February
will operate from Writtle, close to where the original broadcasts were
made. Operating will be on HF, as well as locally on VHF/UHF.

QSOs will be confirmed on LOTW and eQSL. Sorry no QSL cards, or bureau.

For further information - see the CARS: Website: www.g0mwt.org.uk or
follow on twitter @ChelmsfordARS

Informal reception reports as well as those requesting eQSL cards welcome.
 
You can help keep Encore on the air:
Encore is a one-man operation. WRMI and Channel 292 are very generous with their air-time but Encore still costs around 200 Dollars/Euros a month to broadcast.
If you can - send a small contribution to help Encore keep going.
There is a PayPal donation button now on the homepage of the website - www.tumbril.co.uk - which folks can use if they want to. If PayPal is no good for you then send me an email and we'll sort something else out.
Thank you.
 
A big thanks to the folks who have donated already.
 
This week's Programme - First broadcast this coming Saturday on Channel 292 - starts with a nocturne by the composer credited with inventing the form - John Field. Then three of John Betjeman's poems set to music and sung, some of a violin sonata by Franz von Biber - revolutionary for its time (the 17th century). Next - some Bartok - Rhapsody for Violin and Orchestra, followed by part of a string quartet by Aaron Copland. Three pieces finish off the hour - a traditional Georgian Chorale, Some Telemann, and an arrangement of La Folia by Vivaldi.
 
Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search.
A very good site for online SDR receivers all over the world is: http://kiwisdr.com/public/  Click the 'Map' button in the top left of the screen.
 
Thank you for spreading the word about Encore - Classical Music on Shortwave on Radio Tumbril.
