During the 1860s a scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of radio waves. Altough this man may have passedaway young. He was never forgotten in terms of his contribution to the "radio world".
-
A german physicist named Heinrich Rudolph Hertz demonstrated that rapid variations of electric current could be projected into space in the form of radio waves similar to those of light and heat.
-
A german physicist named Henrich Hertz was the first to prove that we could transmit and recieve electric waves wirelessly. This would be the base line for the creation of radio as we know it today.
-
This reduced the isolation of the ships thus improving both reliability and safety. This gave ships more options then ever. Radio gave way for the use of morse code for communication between other ships.
-
Nikola Tesla wirelessly transmitted electromagnetic energy. Nikola Tesla was an American Serbian Inventor, Physicist,and Engineer whom was widely remembered for many of his multiple contributions to the electric science.
-
Guglielmo Marconi an Italian inventor, proved the feasibility of radio communication. He sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895. Regarded as the best at PR for his time.
-
The R.F. Matthews was the first ship to request emergency assistance using radio technology. There was an accident between the R.F. Matthews and The East Goodwin Lightship.
-
In 1906, Lee De Forest came up with the idea for the audion tube, a vacuum that amplified signals.
-

-
He transmitted voice and music over the air. He played a song on the violin and read a chapter out of the bible.
-

-
On March 8, 1916, Harold Power with his radio company American Radio and Research Company (AMRAD), broadcasted the first continous broadcast in the world. A huge step in the world of radio.
-
Inventor Edwin Howard Armstrong is credited with developing many of the features of radio as it is known today. Armstrong patented three important inventions that made today's radio possible. Regeneration, the superheterodyne circuit and wide-band frequency modulation or FM. Edwin Howard Armstrong was very inspirational.
-
First Radio Station was created in Pennsylvania. It's call letters were 8XK, changed to KDKA.
-
Regular Radio Shows began to have schedules with them by 1921.
-
All Radio Stations that were not needed by the government were shut down. This is most likely due to the fear of any sort of betrayal that may have put the US at any sort of disadvantage during war.
