[GreenKeys] More on Gernsback

Tue Aug 15 00:55:43 EDT 2017

     The earliest international radio conference was held in Berlin in 
1903. For more on this and later conferences and the development of 
regulations see:
http://earlyradiohistory.us/sec023.htm
   The home page is
http://earlyradiohistory.us/index.html
     Also see the book:
"History of Communications-Electronics in the United States Navy" Capt. 
Linwood Haweth U.S.N.  Available as a PDF at:

    The is probably the best overall history of early wireless ever 
written. It covers some early broadcasting although there are other 
histories that are more specific to that.
