On 12 December 1921, Paul Godley, 2ZE received the first complete and verified amateur radio short wave transatlantic message ever sent, from 1BCG based in Greenwich, Connecticut. Godley finally settled on Ardrossan as the site to conduct his reception experiments. The Crocodile Rock Amateur Group is celebrating the centenary of Paul Godley’s success, in collaboration with North Ayrshire Council. GB2ZE and GB1002ZE will be operating throughout December 2021. They would welcome volunteers for all aspects of the centenary celebrations. To volunteer please contact Bob, GM0DEQ by email on robert@gm0deq.force9.co.uk.
