Station KDKA in Pittsburgh is considered to have become the first broadcasting
station in the USA, in November of 1920.
Before that, 'radio' was uncheduled, irregular, and unregulated transmissions
by people who liked to tinker and build things in their garage, talking through
their home-brew transmitters occasionally, for the enjoyment of others in the
neighborhood who liked to build home-brew receivers in their garage. A lot like
'ham' operators, except that they didn't expect to hear any response coming back.
