Trivia time

K

KC8UOK

Here's a bit of trivia. Without using a search engine or AI what was the very first UK radio stations callsign and what frequency/wavelength did it use?

Quite a few may get the callsign but Wavelength is less well known
 
I would guess the callsign either to be 2ET which was at the Marconi site in Chelmsford, or 2LO in London. Without cheating, I've no idea what frequencies they were on.

It was 2MT, the confusion being that the rudimentary (and barely standardised) phonetic alphabet at the time had Emma as the phonetic for M (and Toc for T rather than Tango), so the station was 2 Emma Toc.
