    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." This photo is used in A Concise History of British Radio, 1922-2002 by Sean Street books.google.com/books?id=y7jo0IcUZeoC&pg=PA11&lp... which indicates that the event was on June 15, 1920.
