Point to Point
A History of International Telecommunications During the Radio Years
THE BOOK
A History of International Telecommunications During the Radio Years
For much of the twentieth century, international telephone calls and telegraph messages crossed the world not by satellite or fibre-optic cable, but by long-wave and short-wave radio.
Point to Point explores the people, stations and technology behind that global system—from Marconi’s pioneering work and the great beam stations of the 1920s to the wartime years and the transition to satellites.
Drawing on decades of first-hand engineering experience, Paul brings the subject to life through technical insight, social history and memories of working at Dorchester and other radio stations.
