As a footnote to the earlier discussion about Reginald Fessenden, and whether he did or did not broadcast speech and radio on Dec. 24, 1906, some might be interested in listening to a program on the BBC World Service. The program contends that Fessenden's earlier broadcasts, in November of that year, were widely heard by ship operators up and down the U.S. east coast. The program is available, for a few days anyway, at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/discovery.shtml

 Lasts for about half an hour.
