Erwin Louis Hahn's 1950 apparatus enclosed liquid samples in the coil of a tuned LC circuit, coupled to a gated radio transmitter and radio receiver. One transmitter quadrupled a crystal oscillator's 7.5 MHz to 30 MHz. A separate proton resonance regulator stabilized the static magnetic field.^[ref]

Waiting for thermal equilibrium prepared nuclear polarization. Oscilloscope photographs compared glycerol proton echoes at different field homogeneity: echo width changed; echo time followed twice the pulse separation. Receiver saturation obscured early free induction decay; transmitter leakage required care. The delayed signal tested refocusing; diffusion could still attenuate it.^[ref]

Hahn analyzed equal pulses as well as noting improved recovery with a second pulse twice as long; the ideal sequence above isolates that latter case.^[ref]

Guglielmo Marconi's 1909 lecture describes antennas with earth connections and separate coupled receiving circuits. His 1900 system coupled a closed capacitor–inductor–spark gap loop to a transmitting antenna. Coil spacing adjusted coupling; inductance and capacitance adjusted tuning. All four circuits were tuned together. By 1909 his company's stations mainly used magnetic receivers, rather than coherers.^[ref]

Those are a participant's retrospective descriptions, not a complete account of priority. An earth connection is part of this antenna arrangement; it is not a universal requirement for radio communication. Nor does tuning an isolated LC circuit ensure that its frequency remains unchanged when strongly coupled to another circuit. The coupled resonant circuit model quantifies that distinction.
