It’s a small world. Fire up your computer and read on a website in Germany. Turn on the TV and watch live broadcasts from Ukraine. Start an online game and play with virtual gamers anywhere in the world. Reach your iphone and tweet to thousands and millions of people.
It all started with radio. The system used to transfer information over the electromagnetic airwaves.
Here are some interesting links describing some radio history.

And we’d like to thank Christian who is working on his Radio Merit Badge for Scouts. While studying for this badge, Christian found an article with lots of valuable references on the history of radio and broadcasting. We’d like to thank him and share this link to others that are studying for their badges and/or for other wishing to learn. A shout out to Christian- good luck and 73’s (best regards) to you and your troop.
