  No, Hertz never lived to see applications of his discovery. Guglielmo Marconi (was a fascist) started working on radio telegraphy in 1894, shortly after Hertz’ death.

    Oof! One of those moments which kinda’ make one wish there wasn’t an afterlife…

    Thank you for the tidbit, though, and fuck Fascists regardless!
