Archie Frederick Collins
Archie Frederick Collins (January 8, 1869 - January 3, 1952), who generally went by A. Frederick Collins, was a prominent early American experimenter in wireless telephony and prolific author of books and articles covering a wide range of scientific and technical subjects. His reputation was tarnished in 1913 when he was convicted of mail fraud related to stock promotion. However, after serving a year in prison, he returned to writing, including, beginning in 1922, ''The Radio Amateur's Handbook'', which continued to be updated and published until the mid-1980s.
