MARCONI STUBBLEFIELD INVENTION OF RADIO

This performance would ask and answer the question did Marconi alone invent the radio or did Stubblefield of Murray Kentucky also invent the radio. My research does indicate that Stubblefield did discover radio waves they were just at a frequency that would not transmit via air but they would transmit via ground.

A major thrust of this performance art piece will be the making of crystal radios to be used by the audience. I find it very, very strange that there are radio waves in the air that can be picked up with a receiver that contains NO batteries. These radio waves did not exist in the mid 1800's, before the invention of radio.
