21 Sept. 1921 Radio Corporation of America purchased the International Radio &
Telegraph (ship-shore) station at Belfast Maine.
6 October 1921 Mr & Mrs, David Sarnoff came to the Belfast radio station site
and stayed at the Windsor hotel.
Early in 1923 Engineers H.P. Hassner, Carl Erikson, & Samuel "Wintrop" Dean,
including Albert B. Moulton came to Belfast to construct a long-wave radio
station.
The Marconi Cable company was hired to install a ~10 mile two wire wave
antenna South-west to Moody mountain to receive England.
A single wire wave antenna to the Northeast was not possible as Belfast Bay
was close by in that direction.
Albert B. Moulton applied for a Patent for a two wire system November 1,
1922.

In the WW II period, I was 10 years old 1944. I walked under the wires,
that were still there, when my father took me rabbit hunting. My job was to
jump on the large brush piles to disloge the bunnies.
