Prominent radio amateurs
Among the first radio amateurs are Roberto
Landell de Moura,
James Clerk
Maxwell, Heinrich
Hertz, Alexander
Stepanowitsch Popow snd
Guglielmo
Marconi. Even though the term "radio amateur" did not yet
exist at the time
they were the first to get involved with radio technology out
of personal inclinations
and interest in radio technology.
As you can see I am in best company as a radio amateur.
