I do like the quote from the article. ? ¡°It was not the receptivity of the location, but the advanced secret radio equipment used there that made Chopmist Hill¡¯s place in history.¡± He added, ¡°Though reception was remarkably good, it was 99 percent knowhow that created such a success between 1941 and 1945.¡± ? Just before Pearl Harbor, Chopmist Hill in Scituate, R.I., was the center of the world. That¡¯s what the Federal Communications Commission discovered in 1941. The hill¡¯s geographic and atmospheric conditions were extremely favorable for radio reception, and its receivers could grab wireless signals from much of the globe.... ? ?
