2017 marks the 95th anniversary of the start of the UK's first ever

Writtle in Essex.

To commemorate this anniversary, and to celebrate the young, pioneering
team of engineers, the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society are transmitting
from the same building from where the original broadcasts commenced. One of
their members, Jim Salmon 2E0RMI, is also be operating a three-day (Feb
12-14) internet radio service, Radio Emma Toc, featuring radio related
documentaries, vintage comedies and live programmes from various locations.

The first 2MT broadcast started at 7.15pm on February 14, 1922 from an
ex-army Marconi hut - a 'Long Low Hut' - sited in a waterlogged field in
Lawford Lane Writtle. This famous hut is now on permanent display at
Sandford Mill, Chelmsford, and can be visited during the open days at the
Mill.

On Sunday night Jim 2E0RMI was interviewed very briefly about 2MT on the
BBC Radio Five Jane Garvey and Peter Allen show. It is expected to be
available at about 2:27:00 into this recording

operating from the 2MT hut on 7.106 MHz SSB. Among those working the 40m
station were members of the Meirion Amateur Radio Society GC4LZP in North
Wales.
