Soon he was sending and receiving electrical signals up to two miles away. He applied for a patent in 1896, and Britain 's Navy installed Marconi's equipment in some vessels. By 1901, seven years after his first experiment, Marconi transmitted signals across the Atlantic Ocean, from Poldhu, England to St. John's Newfoundland. Marconi won the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics for his wireless communications. He continued his experimentation and developed VHF radios during WW I and short wave signals in 1923.
