World Radio Day celebrated on May 7

Exactly 120 years ago, on May 7, 1895, scientist Alexander Popov presented the first radio system.

That very historical day was proclaimed as “World Radio Day”. Later other viewpoints on the origin of the radio were put forth. Many insisted the radio was invented by Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, there were also suggestions it was Heinrich Hertz. But it was May 7 that remained in calendars as a historical day.
