Old family information says my grandfathers older brother was a radio operator during WWI. What type transmitter was used in WWI? My guess is morse code? If there was a transmitter there had to be a receiver. When were voice transmitter and receivers also transceivers invented? All the old WWII movies show CW.
Online is not clear, they say something was transmitted but don't say, voice or CW code?
Explanation
July 1907 ship-to-shore transmission.
The Dutch company Nederlandsche Radio-Industrie and its owner-engineer, Hanso Idzerda, made its first regular entertainment radio broadcast over station PCGG from its workshop in The Hague on 6 November 1919. The company manufactured both transmitters and receivers.
