The Sounds of a Spark Transmitter in Amateur Radio Services Directory

    

The first wireless transmissions 18881905 employed spark technology. Marconi systems were based on spark technology. Reginald Fessenden 1866 1932 recognised that continuous wave transmission was required for speech, and he felt that he could transmit and receive Morse code better by the continuous wave method than with spark apparatus as Guglielmo Marconi 1874 1937 was using. Fessenden was right, but King Spark was slow to die.
