Talk:History of amateur radio

Reference number 14, which links to the Radio Society of Great Britain's 'History' page seems to be a dead link. I cannot find the page on the RSGB website. Perhaps RSGB have taken it down? 78.105.145.181 (talk) 11:14, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Robert Moore wrote a three-part article in R/9 magazine describing SSB theory in 1933-1934. He did not claim to have constructed an SSB rig, nor did he claim to run any SSB "experiments." FLAHAM (talk) 17:11, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

NATO bombing of Yugoslavia
In the Late 20th century section, I've had to remove obvious WP:COATRACKing, such as and  where activities of Yugoslav hams during the 1999 bombing are used as a platform for claims of inflated numbers of civilians killed by NATO, hams referring to NATO as "the enemy", NATO deliberately targeting ham radio operators, etc. The claims are not supported by WP:RS, and in one case, the text cited to Human Rights Watch showed no mention of ham radio operators whatsoever. - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:17, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Lead section
The lead section is intended to be a summary of what is in the article, not an article unto itself. This article is about the *history of amateur radio*, which is a subset of the main topic. I’ve had to remove extensive explanation of what ham radio is from the lead section. All of it was unsourced, and appeared to be personal reflection and opinion. A pointer to the main article is a better option. - LuckyLouie (talk)

Errors in the Wiki page on Amateur Radio
I just reviewed the Wiki page on Amateur Radio and found sone errors. Such as: from my extensive research, I found the first easily built radio circuit was published in 1899 by Prof. Green of Notre Dame (not early 1900s), the first college amateur radio club to be started at Harvard in 1905, not at Columbia, and I also found from century old reports and magazines that hams were talking around the world around the 1922-1923 time frame. I found such detailed information while researching a series of invited articles that I wrote for IEEE Communications Society, titled "Crucible of Communications." You may see part 1 and part 2, which have heavily researched facts, at these links, and I would suggest that some of the prose be changed to reflect these facts. I do not have time to do it myself, and rarely view Wiki pages. I hope this is useful.
