what were the frequencies used as those ranges increased? did they change (up into shortwave?) or did it stay longwave and then how were the gains from 45 miles to 500+ miles, better antenna and more power output only?</div>

<div>I suspect the first station, located in a rented home as Len said,
<div>used all Marconi equipment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The PJ station that was built in 1907 (the one at the museum),</div>
<div>used equipment built by Walter Massie and his employees.</div>
<div>All the radio equipment presently in the station is original Massie</div>
<div>equipment with the exception of the huge power transformer</div>
<div>which is a Marconi unit. Originally it would also have been a</div>
<div>Massie unit. Somehow, it was lost.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Most of the telegraph equipment in the station appears to be</div>
<div>manufactured by other businesses which had been around</div>
<div>for a long time, unlike radio which was a nine year phenomenon</div>
<div>if we begin with Marconi’s first successes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When PJ opened the station had a range of anout 45 miles.</div>
<div>By the time it was closed down (about 1911), it had a standard</div>
<div>range of 550 miles and an occasional 1,500 miles due to</div>
<div>variations in propagation Range could easily be extended along the entire east coast</div>
<div>by way of relays between stations that were all along both coasts.</div>
