Nathan Stubblefield made his discoveries about 15 miles from the little town where I grew up. Rainey Wells' name is on a couple of buildings where I went to college. It's best not to mention Marconi's name in Murray, Kentucky.
“Hello Rainey!â€

It is reputed that Nathan B. Stubblefield, a farmer from Murray, Kentucky, made a voice transmission four years before Marconi transmitted radio signals.
In 1892, Stubblefield handed his friend Rainey T. Wells a box and told him to walk away some distance. Wells said later: “I had hardly reached my post.. when I heard I heard HELLO RAINEY come booming out of the receiver.â€
Stubblefield demonstrated his invention to the press in 1902 but, being afraid that his invention will be stolen, never marketed his wireless radio. When he was found dead in 1929, his radio equipment was gone.
