radio history

For those who enjoy studying history, especially early radio history, here’s a real treat.

‘The History of the development of radio from 600BC to the early broadcast days’ is the title of a wonderful, illustrated website put together by Greg Whiter, VK3CA.

In six parts, it chronicles the many discoveries and inventions that have led to the development of radio as we know it today.

All the ususal suspects are here – Samuel Morse, Michael Faraday, Heinrich Hertz, Nikola Tesla, Reginald Fessenden and of course Guglielmo Marconi – plus many other not so well-known names.
