While Marconi's morse 'S' is well known, and the first transatlantic TV broadcast even better documented, but I can't find when the first live broadcast radio coverage across the atlantic was.
The BBC covered the Louis-Farr fight in 1937 http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/walesonair/database/farr.shtml
The 1936 Olympics was covered in 40 countries via shortwave http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...c radio coverage&pg=PA164#v=onepage&q&f=false of which some were presumably transatlantic?
But that's it. That's as much as I can find. Any suggestions? Any others to try googling?
