Answer 1

This link should start you in the right direction.

The real patent holder of radio transmission is really not Guglielmo Marconi as the text books would have it ( the Supreme Court gave the rights back to Tesla in 1943) but Nikola Tesla, who had the patents years before Marconi. As the other poster states and that quite a few people were working on transmission of radio waves at this time.

If this paper is for a high school or college physics class it should stir some interest with the teachers.

Answer 2

There is a controversy over the inventor of the radio. An inventor named Nathan B Stubblefied actually invented the radio, but the credit was given to someone else. I believe the other guy might have stole his patent. Mr. Stubblefield was actually born in the small city that I grew up in. It is a small Kentucky city named Murray. You should google Nathan B. Stubblefield it should get yoi started.
