[Waverley ARS] ABC broadcast relating to the first VK YL ham

[Simon Buxton]

Hi

Some of you may have missed the recent interest in an ABC radio program 
covering the life of the electronics engineer Florence Wallace/McKenzie 
(1890-1982) who became the first Australian YL ham in 1922, callsign 2GA 
(later VK2FV).  She may have been a member of our club, though she lived 
in Greenwich. Details of the program are below and I attach a photo of 
her with a radio.
