Radio wasn’t always referred to as “Radio”. Various terms were offered to describe “electromagnetic radiation” including: “…’electric waves’, ‘ether waves’, ‘spark telegraphy’, ‘space telegraphy’, ‘aerography’ and ‘wireless’”.
Even “atomgraphy” was suggested by G.C. Dietz in the November 30, 1901 edition of Electrical Review.* (Equally Odd: the About.com Radio Guide since 2002 has been Guide Corey Deitz - G.C. Deitz).
