Two Galveston youths Roy Clough and George McKenzie Douglas built a wireless device to copy messages from the Galveston station and attempt to interrupt them. Clough led the work, using improvised receivers and a home made transmitter, testing from a 30 foot aerial. He aims to refine the system to work over land and sea with minimal static and energy, and plans to protect his invention with a patent later.
