Marconi-RCA Wireless Receiving Station
Marconi-RCA Wireless Receiving Station, Historical wireless communication station in Chatham, Massachusetts.
The Marconi-RCA Wireless Receiving Station contains a preserved 1914 operating building at the intersection of Old Comers Road and Orleans Road in Chatham.
The station established point-to-point radiotelegraphy service with Norway in 1920 after the Radio Corporation of America acquired assets from Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company.
The facility now houses the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center museum, presenting exhibits about wireless history and naval communication operations through different decades.
Located near Cape Cod's eastern shore, the station retains its original architecture and offers guided tours through communication technology displays and maritime artifacts.
The station communicated with Richard Byrd's South Pole expedition in 1928 and transmitted weather updates to Charles Lindbergh during his flights in 1933.
