(End Photo Caption) Mr. Earle first studied wireless in 1921. Those were the days when amateurs did not receive much encouragement in the experimental field. The crystal set was then the popular apparatus, but the only reception possible from from VIA (Rosewater) and ship stations. Mr. Earle has established communication with amateurs in all States of the Commonwealth and in New Zealand. He has been heard on 'phone in Tasmania and Sydney. He holds a first-class wireless operator's certificate, and transmits under the call sign 5BD. Mr. Earle has given much attention to the practical side of radio, and has built most of his own apparatus, which consists of a 15 c.w. transmitter, a five-watt transmitter, and three and two-valve receivers.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article129795355 MAN OF THE MOMENT News V, 656 South Australia 31 August 1925 20 April 2025 9 (HOME EDITION) National Library of Australia References
