There were a number of ama- teur radio enthusiasts here in the early days. They included the late Keith Rogers - it is the Keith Rogers Memorial Radio Club that is host to the Maritime Convention A.R.R.L. opening here today - Ronnie Stewart. Ernie Auid. and Ernest Weeks. later Major-General Weeks who be- came Vice Chief of the General Staff at Ottawa. Harold Pickard was another of the en:husiasts of the early days. Mr. Pickard recalled yester- day that his first receiving set consisted of two safety razor hlades with a piece of lead pen- cil fastened across them. A tele- phone ear piece was used to lis- ten to incoming messages. He had no transmitter at the time. gal was prior to the First Great I, - TITANIC DISASTER in 1912 the news of the Titanic disaster in the North Atlantic was received direct from the scene of the sinking by local operators here and that stimulated interest among others who took up the hobby. (The Titanic was sunk on her maiden voyage when she ramm- od an iceberg while travelling at full speed. At that time she was the largest ship afloat. There were 2,224 people on board and 1,518 of them were lost.) Following the First Great War the amateurs had better equip- ment and developed better sets. .Askod what would be the range C operations at that time, Mr. Hyiidman said probably 100 miles although it would depend then as now on the power used. The development of the vacu- Ina tube made all sorts of thhgs F. WALTER I-IYNDMAN possible that could not be done prior to its inception. The wireless telephone, or ra- dio telephone as it is now called. was developed during the early Twenties and the first Trans-At- lantic iadiotelephonc conversa- tion took place in 1924 between the Presidents of France and the United States. That was a commercial propo- sition but there was an under- standable development of inter- est in wireless telephony among the amateurs and Mr. Hyndman was the first man in the province to develop a wireless telephone set here. He was also well among the first in the Maritimes and even in Canada. it was stated by another source.

The field was devel- oped by anaateura. ahead of the commercial people who used it later. Amateu radio has ddveloped into a popular hobby on a global scale. There are more than 1.000 licensed amateur operators in Canada alone. And many of them use sets consisting of mostly home-made equipment to talk to people all over the world. The "Hams", as they are call- ed. are uiganlzed in an interna- tional union and each country or zone has its own organization. In Britain, for example, they have the Radio Society of Pri- tain. The American Radio ile- lay League is the organization that serves Canada and the Un- ited States. Alex Reid is the Can- adian director and he will be here for the Maritime Convention of the A.R.R.L. which opens here today. Amateu merators perform many kind and useful deeds. The late Keith Rogers for example. used to provide opportunities for many people here to talk to rela- tives in the far north. Present day operators present opportuni- ties for local people to talk to family members and relatives and friends in many parts of the be , o . USEFUL SERVICES Amateur radio also provides many useful services in emer- gencies. Mr. Hyndman's set. for example allowed the then Man- ager of the Maritime Electric Company here to get In touch with people on the Mainland who could provide material with which to rebuilt and repair the lines which had been made a shambles by the severe sleet storm January 1956. other local operators performed equally use- ful work. The trains could not have operated without the help of the amateur people. The range of service which they are allowed to provide as amateurs. however, is limited to emergencies and in normal times to good will messages. This is to prevent interference with the c Liai establishments. er and Sermon St. Mark's Rust- ico. 7.30 Evening Prayer anl Sermon "Come and bring the whole family." CRAPAUD AND Springfield Parishes.
