You obviously don't give any significant credit to Messrs.
Hertz, Marconi, Fessenden and Armstrong, not to mention Yagi-San.

Shame, shame!

In the same vein, may I add:

Robert Bosch
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff
Ernst Werner von Siemens

--physicists, inventors, entrepreneurs from the 19th/early 20th Century.

Considering purely 20th centry inventors, the list of course becomes pretty large.
