The Inventor of Underground Radio 106 years ago

[Opcom]

Underground Radio is apparently 106 Yrs old. We here at Radio Candelstein feel that it is our duty to mark the anniversary of "Underground Radio", in whatever form it may have taken.

This letter to the editor, from May 17, 1919, was found in the July 1919 issue of Radio News Magazine.
