History 
James Maxwell. Postulated in 1864 that electric currents will produce electromagnetic waves, and that light is just such a wave. 
 Heinrich
Hertz. In 1887 he built the first apparatus to produce electromagnetic
waves from electricity.
 
Guglielmo Marconi. Manufactured first commercial radio transmitters and receivers. Sent first radio transmission across the Atlantic Ocean in 1901. This led to the development of consumer radio receivers and public radio broadcasting by the Radio Corporation of America and the National Broadcasting Company in the 1920s and 1930s.

In the mean time, radio amateurs were busy continuing the experimentation of Hertz and Marconi and from their two-way communications discovered shortwaves. Much of the technical discoveries and subsequent engineering in long distance radio came from these radio "hams".

 For
the average citizen, however, radio was, and still is, a standard broadcast
band radio and enjoying listening to a program. |
