The UNESCO World Heritage site Grimeton Radio Station in south-western Sweden is an early example of transatlantic radio communications. The enormous antennae and massive generator had enough power to send longwave radio signals directly across the Atlantic to the central processing node in New York. Despite being built in the 1920s, it's actually still functional though is only used on a few special days each year. Let's check it out!
