As well as being the birthplace of revolutionary types of long distance communication, Lizard Wireless Station also laid the groundworks for Guglielmo Marconi’s famous transatlantic transmission from nearby Poldhu later in 1901.
The National Trust said it was a “remarkable” site that “played a pivotal role in the early history of wireless communication and helped change how the world connects”.
Geoff Bate has voluntarily managed the stations amateur transmissions since 2017.
He said: “It’s hard to describe what makes this place so special.
“It’s the location, the history, and the people. I’ve always loved history, and here you can meet people, inspire them, and help them understand just how important this place is.”
