One person cannot be cred- ited with this innovation. To make the radio a reality, it required a number of differ- ent inventions and discover- ies including both transmis- sion and reception methods as well as technology. To celebrate National Ra- dio Day, listen to your favor- ite radio station and give a National Radio Day 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20 Coast Community Radio 14th and Exchange streets, Astoria coastradio.org Free special recognition to your local radio personalities.
