World
Wide "Streaming" Webcast from Surf Radio AM 1260 featuring
Don McCulloch & Friends - Commemorating the 100th year
of Radio.
December 26, 2002
The Queen Mary --
NBS100.com Webcast,
The famous Luxary Liner, Queen Mary, played host
to a special NBS100.com
International Wireless broadcast in Long Beach, California,
USA, as part of a Radio Broadcasting Documentary & World
Wide "Streaming" VOD Webcast, commemorating the 100th year
of Radio Broadcasting.
---- "It took one hundred
years to prove that the Wireless Telephone was radio, now
it's part of television," --said entertainer Troy Cory - of
LookRadio. "Instead of our regular Concert event that
features dancing girls, this Troy Cory Show consisted of the
talented LookRadio staff (8 webcast technicians and
interviewers), and the wireless radio archievest of the
luxary liner, Nate Brightman and his amature radio
station.
---- The
(Mauretania)
portion of the ship to shore webcast features yacht owner
and former owner, Jack Boyt and, David Banta. Television
hosts, Larry Leverett, Donna Jeffries and Scott Stubblefield
of Hollywood Beat and LookRadio, share the camera and
microphone with Don McCulloch of Surf Radio, members of the
Troy Cory Show, Josie Cory, Troy Cory, of LookRadio and
guest radio/tv critic Harvey Geller.
----
The production staff included:
camera segment directors Barry Seybert, Marc Friedlander,
Lori Murphy (Makeup) and news co-ordinator, Gary Sunkin,
---- This historical
Long Beach and Los Angeles harbor webcast is part of six
Wireless Telephone MPEG-4 telecasts that originated from
Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Germany, China, and
from Los Angeles. All of the segments will become part of
the D-Diaries, and Stubblefield Broadcast Documentary series
for Public Television. The Queen Mary Meets the Surf Webcast
Segments can be seen daily on Smart90.com/queenmary
-- or on LookRadio Channel
11 in MPEG-4, the best of S90tv quality.
Radio Historians say
YES --
that Nathan B. Stubblefield's 1902 wireless
telephone broadcasts in Washington, Philadelphia and New
York were the world's first. This is the 2002 message the
family members of the wireless telephone radio inventor and
patent holder (Patent
No. 887,657) are attempting to instill in the minds of
broadcasters.
---- Commemorating the 100th
year anniversary of radio has been handicapped by the 9/11
attack, "but we've found that words and music by Cole Porter
and Sammy Faine, played by stations like The Surf and
K-Mozart, can help ease the pain", says, Pete Allman, during
his televised interview with Don McCulloch, of Radio DeLuxe,
the program director for The Surf.
The Stubblefield
broadcast demonstrations
use a handheld smartphone called the "Handy", and
a regular land line telephone to transmit the radio /
television wireless signals across the web. The small
"Handy™" -- replaces the 3 foot tall oak cabinet that
housed the original wireless telephone in 1902.
---- "Most of the SURF Webcast
was "filmed" without the use of video tape or film by
utilizing Philips'
new DVD RW unit, LookRadio's S90tv;
and Smart
WebWorld technology", said director Richard
Greninger.
---- Wireless Commentator
Scott Stubblefield, revealed a few secrets about the world's
first telephone broadcast event conducted by his
great-grandfather Nathan B. Stubblefield, and published by
the Washington Post a 100 years ago. "At that time", Scott
said, "the wireless telephone could only broadcast voice and
music within a 3/4 of a mile radius. This time the wireless
telephone - the "Handy™" - was used to talk back and
forth across the full scope of the Internet. "It's a small
TV screen", continued Scott, "but it's part of the big
picture".
On hand to discuss
this event
and the musical joys of Stubblefield's magical
invention were LookRadio Celebrity Scene's Pete Allman and
veteran radio hosts Don McCulloch, John Regan, Mark Morris,
and Nick Tyler, of Radio Stations K-Mozart and K-SUR. The
Surf is a new sound for contemporary tastes, tailored to the
sophisticated adult. "It is a unique format that presents
the best performances of the greatest songs of all time. The
Surf combines a mix of old time favorite artists like Frank
Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald
with many new contemporary artists.
---- "Clearly, The Surf and
K-Mozart, fill the niche of reaching out to the big diverse
community of Southern California and make available to its
listening audience the rich heritage of the world's finest
music", said Susan Forman, of The Surf.
---- The producer of the
historical Webcasts is Television International Magazine /
VRA TelePlay Pictures. Richard Greninger and Troy Cory were
the Segment Directors and Donna Jeffries Segment Producer.
Gary Sunkin, was TVI Camera operator. Troy also directed the
DVD webstreaming activities.
---- Webcast Segment was video
taped at THE SURF, 1500 COTNER AVENUE, LOS ANGELES, CA
90025, USA. For more information about The

The
Majestic
Queen Mary?
Format
Essence
The Historic Queen Mary
RMS Foundation, Inc.
-----The Queen Mary, the
grandest ocean liner ever built, has played many roles in
her illustrious career. During the 1930s, she was hostess to
the world's rich and famous; Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, David
Niven, Mary Pickford, just to name a few. During her heyday,
many considered her the only civilized way to travel.
----- With the outbreak of
World War II, the Queen Mary was transformed into a
troopship overnight. By the end of the war, "The Grey
Ghost," as she was fondly called, had carried more than
800,000 troops, traveled more than 600,000 miles and played
a significant role in virtually every major Allied campaign.
In February 1946 she began her "Bride and Baby Voyages" and
transported more than 22,000 war brides and their children
to the United States and Canada. She even set a standing
record for the most passengers carried in one crossing -
more than 16,000 troops and crew!
----- After the war, the
Queen Mary resumed her elegant status. However, as air
travel became increasingly more safe and affordable, the
days of the transatlantic voyages were numbered. In 1967,
the Queen Mary sailed from Southampton, England, to her new
permanent home in Long Beach, California. It would be her
last crossing - the end of an era.
----- Today, the Queen Mary
is an internationally recognized icon for the City of Long
Beach, California. She is embraced as an historic hotel and
a floating museum and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. Her operation, maintenance and preservation
are entrusted to the RMS Foundation, Inc., a non-profit,
501(c)(3) corporation. With your generous help, Her legend
continues . . . with this NBS100.com
December 26th 2002 webcast.
"For 30 years the Queen Mary has
been the Centerpiece for the City of Long Beach. She is as
much a part of our history as she is the United Kingdom's,
and preserving her beauty for future generations remains
essential." - Mayor Beverly O'Neill

"Radio
Boys" & "The SMART-DAAF BOYS"™
By Troy Cory -
Stubblefield
Nathan B.
Stubblefield
(1860-1928)
NATHAN B. STUBBLEFIELD
Wireless Telephony - AM radio - 1892 - 1902
All-in-One Radio Patent, 1908
Nine Years Before
Marconi mastered sending --
Dit dahs in his back yard, and while DeForest was
studying at Yale, as early as 1885, Nathan B. Stubblefield,
the owner and inventor of his own telephone company; and
telephone system; -- developed a way to transmit the voice
by Continous Electromagnetic Waves (CW), as much as three
miles -- by means of his patented "earth battery"
transmitter.
---- By allowing electricity to
flow in one direction only, these little coils converted the
very rapidly alternating radio-frequency wave into a series
of pulses whose variations in strength, (amplitude) --were
in the audio-frequency range to which earphones and the
human ear could respond. By 1892, he was broadcasting voice
-- and selling his receiver to his customers and local
businesses.
----It is now assumed, that
after his public demonstrations in 1892 and 1902, in Murray,
Kentucky and later on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.,
the SMART-DAAF BOYS and the rest of the world would have
become aware of his feats -- to send voice without the use
of wires.
---- The radio voice
demonstrations made by Stubblefield, were made 14 years
before Alexanderson and Fessenden's, 1906 radio
demonstration. Stubblefield used his electrolytic
transmitting and detector devices, (his ground batteries) to
relay -- his radio signal, as Fessenden did with his own
"exciters" -- and AT&T did with Maj. Gen. Squier's
multiplex, wired wireless system and 29 relay stations,
(Please see Figure 3.19). Stubblefield ran his largest
transmitter at approximately 250 meters.
---- At times, to extend the
distance of his broadcast, he would secretly bury a string
of his "earth" ground electrolytic transmitter/detectors --
to relay his signals. In short, he was modulating the
ground's electrical potential, changing it from an
electrical "sinkhole" -- to an electrical transmitting
source as an engineer would do at any modern-day, AM
transmitter antenna site.
---- Before His 1908,
Wireless Telephone™ "All-in-One"
patent was issued, (that granted him the rights for both
Hi-frequency and Wired Wireless or Guided-wave system for
the use of broadcasting to all moving vehicles, ships and
trains) - he was asked to describe the differences in his
transmitting stationary aerial; the horizontal aerial having
its opposite stretches or sides extending along the opposite
sides of the path of travel of the vehicle; and the loop
antenna coil attached to the vehicle - from other
patents.
---- He simple explained to the
patent examiners of the impossibilities to broadcast radio
waves with their coils, because, as he put it, they did not
have the proper wire, and would have died from "high
frequency kickback". High frequency quickly heats
insulation. [Editors Note: A microwave oven works on the
same principle. In a few minutes, the insulation inside the
generator or coil grew so hot, that the coils caught
fire.]
---- What saved the day in
the granting of the patent on his 1908 wireless telegraphy
system, was the transmission coil described in his 10 year
old, 1898 "earth battery" patent. It should be also noted,
that Stubblefield's, loop "antenna" was covered within the
patent. The loop antenna was designed to be used with radios
installed in moving vehicle that could not be grounded, such
as: airplanes, ships and automobiles.
---- Residents and customers of
Stubblefield's telephone company, in the small town of
Murray, used similar wireless equipment in their business
telephone service and wireless burglar alarm systems --
installed by Stubblefield since 1895.
---- The United States Army and
AT&T first used the combined system during World War I,
to guarantee articulate voice reception; if the transmitting
aerial was knocked out, the wired wireless system would
continue to operate until the aerial could be repaired.
---- The First Wireless
Telephone Company To commercially exploit the invention, was
established in 1902 and folded in 1927. Stubblefield became
a stock holder, officer and director of the Wireless
Telephone Company of America.
---- It is obvious his
demonstrations in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., created
more interest in the device from the SMART-DAAF BOYS and
stock promoters, than history books. Yet it is here that we
realize that the following SMART-DAAF BOYS were the ones
that perfected Stubblefield's basic principles of AM radio
broadcasting, as we know it today.
MAXWELL'S ETHER THEORY DIES -
November, 13, 1931. The one-hundredth anniversary of
Clerk Maxwell's birth was marked by the scientific world
"digging a grave for the theory of a luminiferous ether,"
but at the same time honoring Maxwell's mathematical
genius.

- At one time the world record holder for sailing from
England to New York City, the Queen Mary is now tied up
in Long Beach, California for tourists and a floating
hotel. Queen Mary was sailed to Long Beach in 1967 and
restored as a luxury hotel. During the restoration, it
was discovered that the smoke funnels were only held
together with years of paint. Removed from the Queen
Mary, they promptly collapsed under their own weight.
Today, tourists can take walking tours of the ship
viewing original art work, visit the Observation Bar once
visited by Winston Churchill or dine and dance the night
away at Sir Winston's. To stay the night, select one of
365 rooms on board the Queen Mary and wake up to a
champagne brunch Sunday morning.
-
-
- Ruling the Waves
- For 34 years, the Queen Mary ruled the north Atlantic
sea routes, ferrying the rich and famous to New York or
England in luxury and splendor. Cunard created the Queen
Mary after many of its first line ships were lost in
World War I. In 1934, the Queen Mary was launched, by
Queen Mary herself, and made its maiden voyage to
America. Queen Mary is an 81,000-ton ocean liner built
with every amenity. Queen Mary is 1,019 feet long, has 12
decks, 10 million rivets, 2,000 portholes and her
whistles weigh in at a ton a piece. The two bow anchors
are 18-feet long and weigh 16 tons. Queen Mary was
capable of a blistering 29 knots across the north
Atlantic Ocean.
-
-
- Queen Mary's World War II Service
- The Queen Mary was pressed into service at the
beginning of World War II. Her beautiful art work and
furnishings were taken out and replaced with troop
carrying spaces. Queen Mary was too fast to be sunk by
Nazi U-boats and could carry 5,000 Allied troops at a
time. On return trips to the States, Queen Mary brought
back German and Italian prisoners or wounded Allied
soldiers and sailors. During the war, Queen Mary carried
more than 760,000 troops and hosted Prime Minister
Winston Churchill on three occasions.
-
-
- Hours of Operation and Location
- The Queen Mary is located in Long Beach, tied up on
the water front at the south end of Long Beach Freeway.
It's open each day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.. During the
summer months, Queen Mary is open until 9 p.m. for a
fireworks display.
