G'morning David, 

 DW> Marconi's
 DW> inventions were greeted with enthusiasm, but not astonishment.

Err ... having a father who was not merely a BTH scientist working 
in part on radar applications, but was a teenage radio ham in the 
1920's,  I understand that Marconi was viewed more as an exploiter 
of early radio techniques rather than a contributor....
