First Radio Transmission of Voice
, http://www.fcc.gov/omd/history/radio/ideas.htmlhttp://www.fcc.gov/omd/history/radio/ideas.html
Although best known for his 1906 Christmas Eve broadcast of music and voice from Brant Rock, Massachusetts, Fessenden actually made the first transmission of voice in 1900 while under contract to the Weather Bureau. His continuous wave theory - whereby a sound wave is combined with a radio wave and transmitted to a receiver where the radio wave is removed so that the listener hears only the original sound - describes how radio works today.
Fessenden proved his theory on December 23, 1900 from an island in the Potomac River. Speaking to an associate who was a mile away with a receiving unit, Fessenden said:
"One - two - three - four, is it snowing where you are Mr. Thiessen? If it is, would you telegraph back to me?"
Thiessen replied in the affirmative and the rest, as they say, is history.
Weather Service Record
, http://www.history.noaa.gov/nwsbios/nwsbios_page72.htmlhttp://www.history.noaa.gov/nwsbios/nwsbios_page72.html
Ma jor Alfred H. Thiessen, who was reappointed at the Central Office on March 17, 1941, was retired at the termination of April 30, 1942. Major Thiessen was born in Troy, N.Y., on April 8, 1872. His service in the Weather Bureau began at Pittsburgh as observer on July 1, 1898. He subsequently was assigned to Helena, Washington, Point Reyes and Manteo as assistant, and to Mount Weather, Raleigh, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, Portland, Baltimore, and Denver as official in charge. He resigned from the Weather Bureau on December 11, 1920 to accept a commission as Captain in the Regular Army.
