[Waverley ARS] Club History - addition to website - did you know?

[Simon Buxton]

Hi

Did you know that in 1911 there were only 27 experimental radio licences 
issued by the PMG throughout Australia (ie to non-government 
organisations or individuals)? And of these 27, 3 individuals 
subsequently became Waverley Club members after its foundation in 1919.

For an interesting article on early (to 1929) radio licensing in this 
country, which was the source of this information, see the article by 
the late Colin Mackinnon VK2DYM at 
http://www.qsl.net/vk2dym/radio/callsigns.htm

Note for newer members: there is a large amount of material about the 
early days of the club on the website.
