A hundred years ago, this state-of-the-art amateur station, 2GT, was pictured in the August 1915 issue of The Wireless Age.

The owner of the station is not identified, but the accompanying article notes that all of the apparatus was built and designed by three young men. The lower panel is the receiver, and the article describes the coils and variable condensers used. It notes that three detectors are available: “silicon, antimony, and valve,” all switchable from the front panel. The antenna was a 250-foot three-wire inverted “L”. The transmitter was a rotary gap, with a transformer capable of supplying 13,000 volts.

In the 1914 call book, the station is listed as being licensed to one John W. Vegessy, 435 E. 6th Street, New York.
