10/14/2016 | Mahlon Loomis Commemoration 150 years of Wireless Communication
Oct 14-Oct 16, 1600Z-2100Z, K6L and K1T, Bluemont, VA. Vienna Wireless Society and Vic Clark Chapter 91 QCWA. 7.025 14.025 14.240 7.145. Certificate & QSL. Vienna Wireless Society, PO Box 418, Vienna, VA 22183. Commemorating what is likely the first demonstration of radio communications on October 1866 from Bear's Den Mountain to Furnace Mountain (as distance of 21 miles) by Dr. Mahlon Loomis. Dr Loomis flew kites from the two mountains with 600 feet of cooper wire attached to each, when he keyed the wire on Bear's Den mountain to ground, the induced static electricity generated a spark (arc) that was detected by a crude galvanometer connected to the kite wire flown from Furnace Mountain. Loomis did not understand the physics of what he demonstrated, thinking that he tapped into a conductive layer in the atmosphere, In reality he created the first spark gap transmitter and demonstrated reception of RF energy 20 years before Hertz did his famous experiment. Dr Loomis applied in 1869 and received a patent on 30 July 1872 for improvements to Telegraphy, Wherein he claims "of utilizing natural electricity and establishing an electrical current or circuit for telegraphic and other purposes without the aid of wires, artificial batteries, or cables to form such electrical circuit, and yet communicate from one continent of the globe to another." www.viennawireless.net
