Little of the technology in use today was known in Marconi's time.
Marconi knew nothing of resonance, impedance, or electromagnetic field
theory; it all came after his time.
Marconi would have been totally baffled if shown a helical, slot, yagi,
or any number of antennas invented after his time in common use today.
The only reference antenna Marconi had was a wire of some sort fed against
ground.
For that particular type of antenna, Marconi was correct, but his
statement
is NOT correct for antennas in general.
Hello again.
I bet that Marconi would have been very wiling to learn about new theory and
technology ... unlike some people.
