Marking Radio Day: Virtual exhibition "For those whose Hobby is Radio" launched in Taganrog

The Scientific and Technical Department of the Zonal Scientific Library of the Southern Federal University launched a virtual exhibition "For those whose Hobby is Radio"

125 years ago, Alexander Popov presented the world with radio. Since then, the idea of ​​inventing and improving radio equipment for transmission of sound signals over distances has been an object for study of the best minds of mankind.

Radio as a hobby appeared immediately after the first successful experiments of wireless communications. In 1898, the Saint-Petersburg "Magazine of the Latest Discoveries and Inventions" published a description of a self-made radio transmitter and receiver for home experiments. Today, the association of radio amateurs of the world totals 3 million people.

The presentation of the virtual exhibition "For Those whose Hobby is Radio" provides more information about this hobby.
