A quote from Nikola Tesla:
"If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once
with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found
the object of his search... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing
that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent
of his labor. - Quoted Nikola Tesla in the New York Times, October 19, 1931"

Tesla invented radio and alternating current.

A community of AM ham radio operators that I have listed to for years on 75
(3885-3890 kh) meters AM were involved in promoting the accomplishments of
Tesla.
I heard about this many times as I tuned them in and listened for hours to
nearly a dozen nice, accomplished, skilled people with a sense of humor
rarely equalled.
Jack Wagner has put a lot of effort into gaining recognition for Tesla and
the creation of a statue of him for the Smithsonian. Here's more plus

Jack Wagner, W8AHB
I am John W. Wagner, teacher...and I have a story to tell you about my
successive classes of third and fourth grade students whose efforts are
focused on preserving Tesla's memory in history.
Along the way, my students somehow learn to write...and enjoy their newly
acquired skill. Is this not one of the grand purposes of school?
Our class hero is Nikola Tesla because he is the underdog of electrical
history, yet his scientific discoveries brought us the prosperity we enjoy
today.

• Jack Wagner W8AHB installed a bust of Nikola Tesla at Carnegie Mellon
University, honoring the inventor of radio. This is the 19th bust that Jack
and his elementary school students have installed, all at the nation’s top
engineering and physics departments (perhaps you have seen Mr.
Tesla in the EECS atrium). Way to go, Jack!
