Default Re: Anniversary of the first radio broadcast in Cuba

I knew that 2MT, Chelmsford went on air before 2LO, but didn't know that 2LO started in May 1922, so thanks for correcting me, Bill. Dave, I didn't know that a station in Otago went on air before the BBC, either. Regarding Call Signs, I presume all those early ones were adopted before there was an internationally agreed allocation. As most members no doubt know, all the later BBC stations had 3-digit calls, but used other figures, e.g. 5XX.
As to 'what was the first broadcasting station?', a whole can of worms could be opened up there
