I'm one of them. Mark, I remember on our tour of the Pavek Museum in 2013, when our guide talked about Marconi, and I happened to turn over my shoulder and mention the name "Nathan Stubblefield" to whoever was behind me, it drew a quizzical look from said tour guide. Reading what I've read about Stubblefield, I throw my support behind him as coming up with the important innovations in broadcasting wireless signals a good 5-6 years before Marconi did, although there ARE those Marconi supporters out there who will say that what Stubblefield simply invented was, in effect, the world's first wireless PA system, rather than radio.

They often think of him as the inventor who started the idea of radio. While Marconi is often credited as being "the", or at least, "a" father of radio, he was in fact experimenting with wireless telegraphy, not radio.
