I no expert or history buff, but I thought RCA hired Mr. Armstrong to develop a 
way to lower the static noise on AM.  He came up with FM instead, and it was not 
accepted by RCA, and RCA pushed him away, but RCA wanted to steal his FM 
invention and patent it.  I thought all his hard work force him to depression 
and then he killed himself. Is that how the story goes. I'm just getting in on 
the tail end of this.
