 Popov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Alexander Stepanovich Popov was born on March 16, 1859 in the village of Turinsk, mining district in the Ural Mountains.
Popov knew that Bose's instrument was very similar to the one he himself had been using for over a year at the Institute of Forestry to detect lightning discharges.
Popov believed in "science for the sake of science," not in "science for personal profit." Limiting the ability of others to make use of scientific discovery by filing for protective patents was a concept foreign to Popov.

 Guglielmo Marconi: The Invention of Radio
In 1906 the American physicist Lee De Forest invented the vacuum tube which amplified radio signals that were received by antenna, thus much weaker signal could be transmitted over longer distance.
After World War II more advancements were made: The replacement of the vacuum tube by the transistor and of wires by printed circuits drastically reduced the power that radio equipment needed to operate enabling radio components miniaturization and more reliability.
During the years claims were made that as a matter of fact not Marconi invented radio but Oliver Lodge, Alexander (Aleksandr) Popov or Nikola Tesla, had sent wireless messages before Marconi got his patent.
