Mount Desert Radio History
This large summer cottage in Bar Harbor is along the same row as radio magnate Atwater Kent.'s It was owned by the Fabbri brothers who built it in 1904.
One of the brothers, Alessandro, "was also an amateur radio operator who set up an experiemental station at Otter Cliffs. He was the first to achieve 24-hour radio contact with European stations. When WW I broke out, he offered his station to the Navy, which enlarged it, set up direct wires to Washington and conducted most of its European traffice....from Mount Desert. "
"Alessandro Fabbri, who never married, died in 1922. In 1935 the former radio station moved to Schoodic Peninsular (which became the Navy base there)."
Nothing there now except Acadia Park parking lot and a commerataive plaque to Mr. Fabbri.
