One of the first well known recorded uses of wireless telegraph, other then lab experiments done by Mr. Marconi. Was the broadcasting of an offshore international yacht race, from aboard a ship carrying a transmitter, back to land, in the year 1899.

The Italian inventor Mr. Marconi and his invention the wireless telegraph, was able to transmit Morse Code, from over ten miles out at sea, back to land. Using standard dots and dashes.

The information ashore from the wireless receiver, was telegraphed to a New York newspaper, and within one hour, of the event, people in New York, were reading about the yacht race.

Before this time, inventors had realized that discharges from charged Laden jars (air capacitors) were capable of transmitting waves of energy through air. These waves could actually be felt, and recorded with instruments. This occurred many years before Hertz did actual testing with apparatus to prove and document the effect.

Marconi instantly saw the worth in waves of energy communicating through air over tremendous distances, as a form of useful communication. He picked up on the basic technology that Hertz had documented.

He created the wireless radio equipment to transmit Morse code, and made the first practical application of wireless radio transmissions. It created a stir when people realized how quickly information could flow using wireless technology.
