HISTORY OF RADIO

HISTORY OF RADIO

Radio owes its development to two

other inventions, the telegraph and the

telephone, all three technologies are

closely related. Radio technology began as "wireless telegraphy.

-Ifra Zia

INVENTION During the 1860s, Scottish

physicist, James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of radio waves.

in 1886, German physicist, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz demonstrated that rapid variations of electric current could be projected into space in the form of radio waves.

In 1866, Mahlon Loomis, an American dentist, successfully demonstrated "wireless telegraphy.

MARCONI Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor,

proved the feasibility of radio communication.

He sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895. By 1899 he flashed the first wireless signal across the English Channel.

 This was the first successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message in 1902.

NIKOLA TESLA In addition to Marconi, two of his

contemporaries Nikola Tesla is now credited with being the first person to patent radio technology; the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943 in favor of Tesla.

HAROLD & EDWIN On March 8, 1916, Harold Power with his

radio company American Radio and Research Company (AMRAD), broadcast the first continuous broadcast in the world.

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.

FESSENDEN Canadian, Reginald A. Fessenden is best

known for his invention of the modulation of radio waves and the fathometer.

Fessenden started his own company where he invented the modulation of radio waves, the "heterodyne principle”.

MILITARY USE AND PATENT CONTROL

When the United States entered the first world war in 1917, all radio development was controlled by the U.S. Navy.

In 1919, after the government released its control of all patents, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) was established with the purpose of distributing control of the radio patents that had been restricted during the war.

The First Commercial Radio StationOn November 2, 1920, station KDKA made the nation's first commercial broadcast. It was Election Day, and the power of radio was proven when people could hear the results of the Harding-Cox presidential race before they read about it in the newspaper. KDKA was a huge hit, inspiring other companies to take up broadcasting. In four years there were 600 commercial stations around the country. To keep up with the cost of improving equipment and paying for performers, stations turned to advertisers.

colleges across the U.S. began adding radio broadcasting courses to their curricula. Curry College in Milton introduced one of the first broadcasting majors in 1932 when the college teamed up with WLOE in Boston to have students broadcast programs.

radio station in the United States -- 8MK from Detroit -- began broadcasting. The station was known first as 8MK, then on October 21, 1921, it became WBL when it received its commercial license. Its name was changed finally to WWJ a few months later.

ROLE OF RADIO DURING WAR OF 1965

ROLE OF RADIO DURING WAR OF 1965• The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 was

a culmination of skirmishes that took place between April 1965 and September 1965 between Pakistan and India.

• This conflict became known as the Second Kashmir War and was fought by India and Pakistan over the disputed region of Kashmir, the first having been fought in 1947. 

• The war began following Pakistan's Operation Gibraltar, which was designed to infiltrate forces into Jammu and Kashmir to precipitate an insurgency against rule by India.The five-week war caused thousands of casualties on both sides.

• It ended in a United Nations (UN) mandated ceasefire and the subsequent issuance of the Tashkent Declaration.

Much of the war was fought by the countries' land forces in Kashmir and along the International Border between India and Pakistan. This war saw the largest amassing of troops in Kashmir since the Partition of British India in 1947, a number that was overshadowed only during the 2001–2002 military standoff between India and Pakistan.

Most of the battles were fought by opposing infantry and armoured units, with substantial backing from air forces, and naval operations. Many details of this war, like those of other Indo-Pakistani Wars, remain unclear.
