what are the effects of telegraphy on society???
Hertz was not early 1800s: should this be someone else, or is it just a too-loose use of 'early', i.e. Hertz was earlier than Tesla?
Most webpages I found about Lindsay were just proud claims made for a local man without any support. The one I added tends to debunk Lindsay's electric light work as likely repeating dead-end efforts others made 25 years earlier, and has references. Yes, a wire glows when you pass a lot of amperage through it . Volta demonstrated that around 1800. If you crank up the amperage to get a bright light, it burns out in a few minutes. I have not yet found a webpage which does a careful analysis of his wireless work, but at this point it sounds like a case of boosterism which needs some supporting documentation. This is not to say he was not exceptionally intelligent and creative to have been experimenting with electricity at all in the 1830's.Edison 05:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
This page "An Introduction to the Mysteries of Ground Radio" by Gerry Vassilatos http://www.borderlands.com/newstuff/research/ground-myst.htm has alot of people that should be included here. I don't care about the mystic or occultic knowledge it mentions, but the people are real and their activities are true. BTW, somneone might want to put the Beverage patent @ that page in Beverage wikipage too. 204.56.7.1 17:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
This article might be better if it was recast as a subset of the Telegraphy article. The subject of this article is mainly the early technologies of radio telegraphy, not the its applications or modern history, for example. Albany45 15:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
