Edwin Armstrong, David Sarnoff, Louis Hazeltine, John V. L. Hogan, Paul Godley and Allen B. DuMont, to name just a few - these were pioneers who would shape the industry. Today the Club is composed of modern pioneers, advancing the field of Radio Communications in ways undreamt of on that January day in 1909, when the first meeting of The Radio Club of America was called to order.
