Additionally another programme is due to be aired during a live link from the New York Metro Opera in Dec. This was made by a Mr Sean Street down in Englandshire.
Other programmes are also still to be completed by various agencies.
Several of those already aired are available on Donald's site at

Fessenden has been honoured as today's engineer and can be read at

Another broadcast is being planned for the "Good Morning America" program" later in Dec. by ABC which will cover all USA and beyond. It will also mention Machrihanish and what took place there in 1906.Canadian media are also planning programmes.

The Great Grandson of Albert Stein whose voice was heard across the pond for the first time is hoping to take part. He well remembers being told of the events which made Albert famous from Brant Rock.
PICO lights are also due to be switched on on 5 skyscrapers in Philadelphia to honour Fessenden.

Just wish they would learn to spell Machrihanish let alone pronounce it..

If the above website can't be brought up it can be seen at http://groups.msn.com/fessenden
