Talk:List of oldest radio stations

message: Is the definition of "radio station" used in this article limited to "broadcasting" stations, which broadcast to the public, or does it include stations which transmitted private messages?  Is it limited to AM transmission or does it also include Morse code stations?  By the early 1900s there were numerous powerful radiotelegraphy stations all over the world which transmitted radiotelegraphy traffic (telegrams) across oceans.  I think this article should be limited to audio (AM) broadcasting stations and this should be stated in the introduction. --ChetvornoTALK 21:57, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this list limited to broadcasting stations? 

message: Should there be an explicit criterion for a station to be included on this list?  Lists like this have always been controversial, because it is difficult to define what constitutes a broadcast station.  In the freewheeling atmosphere of early 20th century AM wireless it is difficult to draw a line between radio transmissions intended for "the public" and those intended for a few of the operator's friends.  Before 1920 people thought of radio as a one-to-one communication technology, exemplified by the amateur radio QSO contact.  No one anticipated "broadcasting" voice or music into many people's homes; this new activity sprang up spontaneously.   Often radio listeners tuned into the early transmitters experimenting with AM transmission and wrote to the station, and the stations began catering to their unexpected audience with news and music.
One criterion used in some sources to distinguish the first broadcasting stations is whether they had a regular schedule of broadcasts.  In this view, unannounced irregular transmissions of music or news did not qualify as "broadcasting"; the station became a broadcasting station when it published a schedule in the local newspaper. --ChetvornoTALK 22:50, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  What constitutes a broadcasting station? 

message: There are a lot of serious problems with this list:
* Lacks well defined inclusion criteria.
* It doesn't even define what qualifies as an "early radio station" - does that include broadcast, commercial two-way, amateur, government?
* Grouping together unrelated FM and Shortwave.
* Grouping together experimental and AM broadcast.
* No section for spark gap transmitter or continuous wave which would comprise the majority of the earliest stations.
* Highly notable stations like Grimeton Radio Station, Wardenclyffe Tower, The Wireless Station, or Massie Wireless Station missing, but later stations included.
* Lack of references.
* Includes individuals under the section "stations" and lists personal names under "call-sign"
* Marconi and Roberto Landell de Moura are listed as using AM pre-1900.
* A few 
I'm going to try to fix some of this, though this might require a lot of removal. --mikeu talk 20:06, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: AMSS is somewhat tied with 'Digital Radio Mondiale' (DRM) as stated in the article so it's probably a good guess to expect that it would be used mostly in countries that plan to make the transition to broadcasting radio in the DRM standard (as opposed to for instance the USA that seem to prefer their own standard called HD Radio). 174.6.87.98 (talk) 04:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Place of Skulls (band)

message: I removed Christian from the opening sentence as I do not feel that it is a defining characteristic of the band. While Griffin has converted to Christianity and the Love Through Blood EP is about Christ, they play in the general doom metal scene (like Trouble (band)) rather than the Christian metal scene.  The band also featured Wino, who to my knowledge is not Christian. I have added some info to the bio section that notes Griffin's Christian beliefs and feel this is sufficient. If you disagree, please reply below rather than changing the genre and/or opening sentence. Thanks. Olliegrind 21:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed a 2 sentence note about the band thanking God on their albums. This is fairly common and the band's religion is already discussed in the article.

Talk:Radio wave

message: According to the Microwaves page, Microwaves are 300MHz-300GHz.  I think that it would be good for wikipedia to be self-consistent in its naming convention for different parts of the Electromagnetic spectrum.  Including a table of references for different conventions (if necessary to help researchers, etc... navigate different conventions) might be a good idea, if the historical evolution of EM naming conventions has been such.  
16:57, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the Microwave article (and its sources) says there is no consensus on where the lower boundary of the microwave band is, different sources regard microwaves as beginning at 300 MHz to 3 GHz.  Although I don't really think it is important, I edited the article to be be consistent with that. --ChetvornoTALK 21:29, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I was looking into microwave photons today, and found this article by an astrophysicist/professor (Brian Koberlein), written in everyday language.  Just how big is a photon. It might be helpful to anyone looking into the topic. ("It’s a bit odd to think of a microwave photon as being larger than a baseball, but it is a simple way to explain how mesh reflectors work." The image being shown with this article (today) is *really* helpful in visualizing how radio 'photons' are generated. One 'microwave photon' is *much* lower in energy than a light photon, so *many more* of them are needed to deliver the same energy. (More on that here, discussing microwave ovens.) A much more 2008 technical article here titled "Generating Single Microwave Photons in a Circuit" describes an interesting application. Twang (talk) 22:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

message: The whole DC ADIZ section really doesn't belong in this article.  The tone of the whole section is POV.  It is clear that the author thinks the DC ADIZ shouldn't exist.

message: User N.Flen added a similarity of Quackers to Donald Duck, but it was reverted by Sandmaster. I agree with N. Flen because
Quackers behaves as aggressive as Donald often does, plus he has white feathers like Donald, plus he is wearing a seaman's
hat like Donald. I even think Quackers is more similar to Donald than to Daffy.--81.14.254.44 10:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He doesn't look like Daffy, but his speech mimics many of Daffy's vocal inflections (the slight lisp for instance). Quackers's behavior when he was being chased into the woods is a toned down version of how Daffy would behave whenever he was being chased. As for personality, Daffy could be very aggressive himself; Donald was more temperamental than aggressive. The hat Quackers wears may have been inspired by Donald's, but it's not a close match.Raymondluxuryacht 20:51, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
