    You also do not need a comma behind a certain date. (hint 1888)

    There should be a comma behind 2000. That was the one you missed Feprincess.

    J_9 is it right now?
    Radio waves were discovered in 1888 and Guglielmo Marconi first used them to send messages in the 1890s. Although many claimed the credit, the first voice heard on the radio belonged to Reginald Fessendens. In 1906 Fessendens, a physicist born in Canada spoke from Massachusettes to ships offshore. Generally speaking radio communication was most useful in rescuses. The "wireless" was used for ship-to-shore messages. By 1903, radio was being used by airline pilots, the police, and military personnel. Commercial broadcasting began according to experts, when a Pittsburgh station aired the 1920 presidential electin results.


    Please place commas where needed, please

    Not quite yet. You still need one behind 1906; Generally speaking (rescuses is spelled incorrectly); began

    So, put one behind

    1906
    Generally speaking
    Began

    Correct your spelling typo and you should be good to go.
