Related to event reported in earlyradiohistory.us/1920melb.htm [from Telephony, July 10, 1920, page 19] "As a further test of the efficiency of wireless telephony Dame Nellie Melba was invited to entertain Europe by wireless. The concert was staged at the Marconi station at Chelmsford in Essex, a 2,800 meter wave length being used. Dame Melba arranged to sing in three languages--English French and Italian. Amateur wireless telephone operators throughout Europe were advised to "listen-in" and the trans-Atlantic liners fitted with the Marconi receiving sets were specially advised of the concert time. These included the Olympic, the Bardic, the Megantic, Caronia, Bosworth and other popular boats."
