All Telecommunications and Radio Engineers

Electrical engineers whose own Wikipedia articles credit them with a telephone, telegraph, radio or television invention or advance, such as the telephone (Bell, Gray, Meucci, Reis), the telegraph (Morse, Cooke, Wheatstone), practical radio (Marconi, Fessenden, de Forest, Armstrong, Braun), television (Farnsworth, Baird, Zworykin, Fleming), radar (Watson-Watt), fibre-optic telecommunications (Kao), the phonograph record (Berliner), the teleprinter (Krum) or frequency-hopping radio guidance (Lamarr). Grouped together as the engineers whose own source articles place their principal work in telecommunications and radio, a recognized sub-field of electrical engineering distinct from power systems and semiconductor electronics.
