[–] basicplus2 6y ago ↗ Marconi's Patents were denied as there was prior art by Nikola Tesla which predates Popov, so Nikola Tesla invented the radio. [–] eesmith 6y ago ↗ "Making a definitive claim of who was first is complicated by inadequate documentation of events, conflicting definitions of what constitutes a radio, and national pride."What constitutes "a radio"?
