Abstract

They became Radio Corporation of America (RCA) stations, tasked with sending transmissions to warships in the Pacific. In 1913, electrical engineer Guglielmo Marconi's radio firm planted several 90-metre towers in the coastal farmland of Bolinas to form an enormous antenna array for broadcasting across the Pacific. There, I stumbled across the hulking skeletons of two early 20th-century radio transmitter-receiver stations that are landmarks in the development of wireless technology.
