Excellent article here about the 95th anniversary of the first transatlantic shortwave reception between Greenwich, Connecticut, and Scotland

The ARRL, Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB), and the Radio Club of America (RCA), partnered in sponsoring the activity. The Greenwich Historical Society also participated.

Its is considered that the successful test back in 1921 proved that world-wide communication could be achieved using short wave.
