Wilkes-Barre



We visited placeJozef Murgaš - pioneerradio transmission. He wasfirst who successfully transmitted radio signal over land. It is not widely known, but Murgaš wonpatent lawsuit against Marconi. To be historically correct, Marconi didfirst transmission overwater surface, but he was unable to broadcast over land before he learned about Murgaš.
