What was the first radio station ever?

Question

any one know

Answer 1

Well I guess that depends what kind of radio station you mean. If you want to know which was the very first radio station for music, it was 8XK of KDKA Radio on November 2, 1920 out of East Pittsburgh. If you mean the first radio station as in first to be used to send and recieve radio waves, this was created in 1864 by James Clerk Maxwell. Maxwell showed how radio waves could be reflected, absorbed and focused like the beam from a torch. Hardly anybody believed Maxwell in 1864. However, the theories were later quantified by Oliver Heaviside into two equations, and in 1879, Prof. David Hughes walked up Portland Place with a device that caught the sound of radio waves. In 1887, German scientist Heinrich Hertz carried out a famous set of experiments that proved Maxwell had been right all along, and in 1894, the British scientist Oliver Lodge succeeded in transmitting wireless signals over 150 yards.
