In october 2007 I was at an event to commemorate 100 years since the
worlds first wireless point to point link opened for business

I came across the traffic logs for the first few months and
extrapolating the most optimistic figures for throughput I could find
and taking into account the fact that they later moved to full duplex CW
working  I calculated that the Marconi telegraphy link between clifden
in Ireland and Galce bay in Canada transferred about 331Mb of data
between October 1907 and 1922 

I bogged about it here http://ei6iz.com/?p=7
progress happens ;-)

Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t try
to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.
