They have been standing against all the elements for 100 years. But they're in danger of being destroyed. Now a group of amateur radio enthusiasts have launched a campaign to try and save the so-called "Marconi Towers," which are still around in the small remote town of Battle Harbour, Newfoundland. 

For radio geeks, there's a reason this site is of such historic interest. 

"Built in 1904 as part of Newfoundland’s wireless network, they played a key role in maritime safety and international messaging. In 1909, Admiral Robert Peary’s North Pole expedition announcement was transmitted from here, gaining worldwide recognition...

The Marconi Towers stand as symbols of technological progress, connecting this remote community to the world.

Despite surviving over 100 years of extreme weather, these towers now face urgent threats from climate change and structural decay. Without action, we risk losing a landmark that highlights Canada’s pioneering role in global communications.

Our goal is to restore the towers with sustainable materials and expert craftsmanship, ensuring they remain a vital part of Battle Harbour’s heritage."
