National Radio Day

Now we are used to the fact that we can tune the wave to a certain frequency and listen to our favorite music, but before that it was a real fantasy. And although in the modern world the Internet and TV are held in high esteem, it is important not to forget how it all began.

The History

When everything came together, the radio started playing! Note the names of the inventors: Gugliemo Marconi, Nikola Tesla, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz and others.

A little later, public broadcasting appeared, then the radiotelephone company, which could pick up a signal at a distance of several miles.

In our age, it has faded into the background and is no longer the primary source of news and entertainment. But radio has been competing with advanced analogues for many years, there is always a place for it in the world!

In 2011, activists drew public attention to the date, which is why the National Day is celebrated annually throughout the country.
