In october 2007 I was at an event to commemorate 100 years since the
worlds first wireless point to point link opened for business

I came across the traffic logs for the first few months and
extrapolating the most optimistic figures for throughput I could find
and taking into account the fact that they later moved to full duplex CW
working  I calculated that the Marconi telegraphy link between clifden
in Ireland and Galce bay in Canada transferred about 331Mb of data
between October 1907 and 1922

I bogged about it here http://ei6iz.com/?p=7
progress happens ;-)

Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t try
to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.

Very interesting Brendan!
For those travelling in Europe don't miss a chance to take a look at
http://www.grimetonradio.se/page1.html
Grimeton is the only super longwave station still alive, at least once a
year.
The antennas are impressive and the transmitter is MUCH larger than 1000
K3's.
They also had a number of long Beverages, all of them gone since many years.
It is worth a visit.

I like that - not sure I'd agree with the finding about the UK!
