Transmitters' League Review of 1928 Activities. In a review of the activities of the Australian Radio Transmitters' League in 1928 specially written for the radio columns of "The Telegraph," Major Leo J. Feenaghty (Federal Secretary) refers to the amalgamation of the league with the Wireless Institute of Australia in an effort to bring about co-operation among all amateur transmitters and experimenters. Major Feenaghty writes:— The year was one of varied interests and activities for the Australian Radio Transmitters' League. At the beginning of 1928 there were two States which had inaugurated the league movement "of, by, and for the amateur" — namely, Queensland (ever pioneers in advancement) and New South Wales. Before Father Time had spun his wheel more than a few rounds the Victorians joined in, and later Western Australia threw in its lot with the league. With great foresight the Western Australians named their league the A.R.T.L. (Western Australian division), and within a few weeks the Q.R.T.L., the N.S.W.R.T.L., and the V.R.T.L. became the A.R.T.L. and respective divisions. Thus four of the six radio districts had definitely thrown in their lot with the league movement. TRIBUTE TO QUEENSLAND. Following this move, Federal headquarters were established, and it is a tribute to Queensland that this State, by a unanimous vote, was selected as the first Federal headquarters of the league. Mr. M. M. O'Brien, the originator of the league idea, and president of the Queensland division, was selected as the first Federal president. Mr. O'Brien is the owner and operator of experimental station VK4MM. The training he received in the Australian Corps of Signallers, in which he holds the commission of lieutenant, stands him in good stead. Major Leo J. Feenaghty, of experimental station VK4LJ, was elected Federal secretary-treasurer, and Mr. C. J. Grant, B.A., B.Com., was made the third member. The closet co-operation was maintained among all divisions, and twice weekly the league H.O. station, VK4LJ, kept schedules with the Victorian and Western Australian divisions. On one notable occasion the Federal committee at VK4LJ controlled by radio a meeting of the Victorian division at VK3JR, contact being maintained for nearly three hours during which much urgent, and important business was transacted. The amendment of the wireless regulations caused great activity in the ranks of the A.R.T.L. and the requests of the league were incorporated in a most complete and comprehensive document which was presented to the Federal authorities. The membership of the Queensland division (then the Q.R.T.L.) at the beginning of 1928 was 28, and at the close of the year 40 transmitters were in the ranks, with three more awaiting admission. AMALGAMATION SCHEME. Realising that the needs of the transmitter could not be best served by two bodies the A.R.T.L. approached the Wireless Institute of Australia with a proposal for a total merger. To enable a full discussion of this proposal to be held the Federal secretary (Major Feenaghty) visited Melbourne to confer with W.I.A. headquarters. The conference was successful and a satisfactory scheme for amalgamation was drawn up. So far as Queensland is concerned the result will be that the A.R.T.L. will take control of A.R.T.L.-W.I.A. combine under the name of the Wireless Institute of Australia (Queensland division). Membership will be open to all transmitters and those holding equivalent qualifications, while all interested in the scientific side of the science of radio will be eligible for associate membership. Those who find fulfilment of their desires in listening to broadcasting only and are not keenly interested In the higher frequencies will be sufficiently catered for by the local radio clubs since the re-established institute is to be a scientific association essentially. "THE Q.T.C." The official organ of the league, "The Q.T.C.," which is published by the Queensland division under the editorship of Major Feenaghty, continues to thrive. Its mailing list covers every continent and 13 countries, while the list of foreign correspondents reads like the membership roll of the League of Nations. From India, Burmah, Czechoslovakia, Japan, the United States of America, England, and all over Australasia views and notes are received, all of which are incorporated in what may with all justification be called the most phenomenally successful amateur venture in Australia. The publication is the product of gratuitous amateur labour right throughout, and arrangements are now in hand to have it printed before long. NOTEWORTHY RECORDS. Several noteworthy records have been established by A.R.T.L. members on the 10 metre wave band, an A.R.T.L. man, Mr. S. C. Austin (Perth) being the first to work across Australia on this traffically high frequency when he established contact with Max B. Howden, of Melbourne. Several Queensland members have worked distant stations on this wave band, principally VK4BB, VK4AW, and VK4NW. A test on 85 metres was conducted in September, and the pennant winner for Australia was VK3WH owned and operated by the Traffic Manager of the Victorian Division. The Queensland Pennant was awarded to Arthur E. Walz (VK4AW). NEW WAVE BANDS. All members at present are experimenting on the new frequency bands allowed by the Washington Conference. Instead of using 32 metres as heretofore Australians now operate on 41-42 metres. Already America has been worked on the new band and further records are awaited. Any inquiries regarding the A.R.T.L. or the forthcoming amalgamation should be addressed to the Federal Secretary, Major Leo. J. Feenaghty, Desmond Chambers, Adelaide Street, Brisbane.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article179688456 Amateur Wireless The Telegraph Queensland, Australia 16 January 1929 22 February 2020 7 (5 O'CLOCK CITY EDITION) Trove 1929 02 1929 03 1929 04 1929 05 1929 06 1929 07 4BB one of the four lecturers for the AOCP course run by the WIAQ Wireless Institute. Course of Instruction. The Coming Conference. By "LISTENER." The Queensland division of the Wireless Institute of Australia has inaugurated a course of instruction for those desirous of sitting for the amateurs' transmitting license. Four members of the division — Messrs. M. M. O'Brien, A. E. Walz, R. J. Beatson, and C. H. Gold — are serving as lecturers. For the time being the classes are being conducted at the residence of Mr. W. A. Young, Granville Street, West End, on Monday evenings. Fourteen persons at present are attending the lectures, and several others have signified their intention of taking the course, which will cover the theory and practice of radio transmission, together with tuition in Morse code. It is anticipated that the course will extend over a period of 16 weeks. The lectures will be typed and copies will be given to each candidate as soon as possible after the lectures have been delivered. The typed copies will form a valuable addition to the amateur literature of Australia. These books will be issued to any country candidate at a fee. The division is reserving all rights in connection with these typed lectures. Each Tuesday evening station VK4CG is transmitting slow morse on 77 metres for the benefit of candidates. At the end of the course candidates will be advised whether the lecturers consider that they are competent enough to submit themselves for examination, and arrangements will be made with the Radio Inspector for the holding of the examination. If candidates desire to submit themselves for examination even though the lecturers hold the opinion that they are not quite up to the mark no obstacle will be placed in their way, and they will be included with others to go before, the Radio Inspector. THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Major L. J. Feenaghty, organising secretary of the annual conference of the Wireless Institute of Australia, which is to be held in Brisbane during September, says that the agenda paper, on which will appear many matters of the utmost importance to the amateurs of Australia, is nearing completion. Word had been received, that Tasmania will be unable to send a delegate, and therefore a Victorian representative has been asked to act as a proxy for the Tasmanian division of the institute. The delegates will be entertained at a round of social functions by the members of the Queensland division, a civic reception will be accorded to them, and they will be driven round the beauty spots of Brisbane during the several days they will be here. Everything, said Major Feenaghty, points to a most successful conference. It would be a unique conference, inasmuch that it would be the first occasion that one had been held by the Institute in Queensland. Members of the Queensland division were gratified that Brisbane had been chosen as the meeting place for this year. Some of the most prominent amateur transmitting men of the Commonwealth would be in attendance at the conference and the discussions promised to be of a most interesting nature.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article182975549 Wireless Institute The Telegraph Queensland, Australia 31 July 1929 22 February 2020 12 (5 0'CLOCK CITY EDITION) Trove 1929 08 1929 09 1929 10 1929 11 1929 12 The recently renamed WIA (Qld) holds public meeting, 4BB is appointed publicity director WIRELESS INSTITUTE. NEW SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. The Wireless Institute of Australia (Queensland Division) called a public meeting of those interested in wireless to further the interests of the institute, and a band of amateur wireless enthusiasts assembled in the State Service Union rooms, Elizabeth-street, last night. The president of the institute (Mr. M. O'Brien) was in the chair. The secretary (Mr. L. J. Feenaghty) said that the object of the meeting was to inaugurate a new system of government of the institute by a council and sections, to put into effect a more comprehensive set of rules governing the institute, and to elect members of the council and sectional representatives. Each section, he said, would be governed by a president and a secretary. He also mentioned that it was the intention of the institute to embark upon a publicity campaign to attract members and public interest. It was intended to hold lectures, meetings, &c. The meeting decided to initiate a country section. Pending consideration by that section, Mr. A. E. Walz (VK4AW) was elected to represent the country section on the council, pro tem. On the motions of Mr. W. Young and O. E. Alder, it was decided that, in order to encourage country members, "This meeting takes a ballot of town members to reduce the fees of country members from 20/ to 15/," and also "That the council agrees to act as buying agent to purchase gear for country members at the best terms." The new council was elected as follows:— President, Messrs. M. O'Brien (VK4MM); secretary, L. Feenaghty (VK4LJ); technical director, R. Browne (VK4RB); publicity director, R. Beatson (VK4BB); key section representative, W. Young (VK4WA); country section representative, A. E. Walz (VK4AW), pro tem.; and associate members' section representative, G. Payne. The selection of a representative for the 'phone section was postponed until the section met. In the key section Messrs. W. A. Young and G. Oxlade were appointed president and secretary respectively, and in the associate members' section Messrs. G. Payne and R. Rose were elected president and secretary pro tem, respectively. The various sections will meet monthly, the country fortnightly, and a general meeting will be held monthly.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article21486358 WIRELESS INSTITUTE.

WIRELESS AMATEURS. AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE. The outstanding feature of the annual meeting of the Queensland division of the Wireless Institute of Australia, held last night in the Public Service House rooms, was the enthusiasm of the members, and their desire to assist associates to a higher degree of efficiency. Several speakers asserted that Queensland amateurs had attained a standard which bore favourable comparison with those in other parts of the world. The annual report revealed a membership of 28 town members, two honorary members, 12 country members (including the first lady transmitter in Queensland, Miss D. Harris [sic, Harriss] Longreach), three junior members, and 41 associate members. Reference was made to the work of outstanding merit performed by the two honorary members, Messrs. Leighton Gibson (VK4AN), and Andrew Couper (VK4BW), who three years ago maintained communications between Southern and Northern Queensland, when floods had isolated the North. The sixth annual convention of the Wireless Institute of Australia was held in Brisbane in September, 1929, when business of a Federal nature was decided. During the year the rules of the division were amended to bring them into conformity with those of other divisions. Appreciative reference was made to the generosity of Mr. J. B. Chandler, who donated apparatus for the official station (VK4WI), at Wooloowin, and to Mr. J. H. Hills, of Philips' Lamps, for a similar donation. PRESENTATION OF TROPHIES. Trophies won during the year were presented by the president as follows: — VK4CG cup, for best all-round station, to Mr. R. J. Browne (VK4RB); VK4LJ cup, for 250 metre telephony, to Mr. T. W. Starkie (4NW); VK4PN cup, for 20 metre work, to Rev. R. J. Delbrldge (VK4RJ); Hutchinson trophy, for experimental work, to Messrs. W. A. Young (VK4WA) and C. H. Gold (VK4CG). ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The election of officers resulted: President, Mr. M. M. O'Brien (VK4MM); secretary and treasurer, Major L. J. Feenaghty (VK4LJ); assistant secretary, Mr. A. E.

The Brisbane Courier 22,525 Queensland, Australia 8 April 1930 14 August 2019 26 National Library of Australia As previous, further detail including mention of 4BB coming second in 4PN Cup RADIO. Wireless Institute. Telephony Transmissions Members' Schedules. The Wireless Institute of Australia (Queensland division) recently held its third annual meeting which was well attended by members and those interested. The presidential address was delivered by Mr. M. M. O'Brien, VK4MM, and he traversed the policy of the division, mentioning the outstanding events of the previous year. The report of the secretary showed that the division was in a flourishing condition there being 28 town members, 12 country members, three junior members, two honorary members, and 41 associate members. In the ranks of the country members is included Queensland's first lady transmitter — Miss D. Harriss, of Longreach. During the year the outstanding event was the sixth annual convention of the Wireless Institute of Australia held in Brisbane in September. This was the first time a convention was held in this State. It was gratifying to members to read the opinions of other divisions regarding the convention which they stated was the most successful yet held. As the Queensland divisions is the youngest recruit to the institute this is all the more pleasing. The amendment of the rules towards the end of last year provided for the government of the division being vested in a council and for the establishment of various sections, in which men interested in particular branches, of the science would congregate. The council government has had the effect of expediting business and the attendances at meetings have been extremely high. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, Mr. M. M. O'Brien (VK4MM); secretary and treasurer, Major Leo J. Feenaghty (VK4LJ); key and phone section councillor, Mr. W. A. Young (VK4WA); country section councillor, Mr. A. E. Walz ( VK4AW); technical director, Mr. R. J. Browne (VK4RB); publicity director, Mr. R. J. Beatson (VK4BB); associate member section, Mr. G. H. Payne; deputy chairman, Mr. W. A. Young (VK4WA). WINNERS OF TROPHIES. Opportunity was taken to present the trophies which were won during the year. The VK4CG Cup and blue pennant for the best all-round private experimental station in Queensland were awarded to Mr. R. J. Browne (VK4RB) who has done some noteworthy work, particularly in connection with high frequency transmission. Mr. Browne has made four contacts with the United States of America on 56000 KC (10 metres) (sic, 5 metres) this representing a record for the Commonwealth. The runnerup for this trophy was Mr. R. J. Beatson (VK4BB), who was presented with a red pennant. The VK4LJ Cup and blue pennant for the best 250 metre telephony station were awarded to Mr. T. W. Starkie (VK4NW) and Mr. C. R. Morris (VK4LW) was awarded a special blue pennant in view of the excellence of his transmission and the fact that considerable difficulty was experienced by the committee in deciding which of the two should receive the cup. The Hutchinson trophy for experimental work was awarded jointly to the stations owned by Messrs. Young (VK4WA) and Gold (VK4CG). The VK4PN Cup and Blue Pennant for Transmissions on 14 MC and higher were awarded to the Rev. R. J. R. Delbridge of Childers (VK4RJ) and a red pennant was awarded to Mr. R. J. Beatson as runnerup.

As announced, a description of the Melbourne Cup race was broadcast from Melbourne through all the "A" class stations yesterday at 3.30 p.m. Probably nearly all of the receiving sets in Maryborough were tuned in. The Queensland station, 4QG, was heard perfectly and without static. The station switched over to 3LO, Melbourne, and again the description of the horses as they went through their preliminary gallops, and the announcements concerning owners and jockeys were all heard with clarity, punctuated by mild little chirps as neighbouring sets tuned in. As soon as the race started, however, fierce whistling caused by excessive oscillation debarred listeners from the pleasure of following the race. Mr. R. J. Beatson, of the Radiola Depot, spoken to yesterday, suggested that the trouble was caused by deliberate interference locally. The trouble lasted only whilst the race was in progress, even the chattering of the crowds at Flemington being heard before that. As soon as the description had ended the trouble, too, ceased. Many persons gathered at the Radiola Depot and other wireless houses were naturally disappointed as were those in private homes with sets. As so many persons unfamiliar with radio were listening in the trouble may give a wrong impression of the modern receiving set. If, as Mr. Beatson suggests, the trouble was deliberately caused, the matter should be investigated in the interests of those who pay their heavy license fees.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article151875111 DISAPPOINTED LISTENERS.

Mr. A. P. Wynne, the well-known music dealer, has been fortunate in securing the appointment as distributor in Maryborough and district for Amalgamated Wireless of Australasia Limited. The products of Amalgamated Wireless Ltd. are famous throughout the world and Mr. Wynne should find an excellent opening in this district for trade in the wireless sets and contrivances which he will stock. Mr. Wynne has a name that is at once coupled with everything musical and as wireless is recognised to be the coming means of hearing the best music possible he should have no regrets for having taken on the agency. Wireless opens up many avenues of entertainment and forms a most interesting and amusing hobby. Mr. Wynne's stocks of both electric and battery model wireless sets will arrive and may be heard at his music showrooms in Kent-street on Monday. In connection with the agency Mr. Wynne has secured the services of Mr. R. Beatson, a thoroughly competent wireless expert.

The novelty of an experimental radio station in Maryborough coupled with the excellent programme of records being broadcast has been responsible for great numbers of letters from enthusiasts pouring in to Mr. R. Beatson and Mr. A. P. Wynne, in whose music shop the station is situated and conducted by Mr. Beatson who holds the license and is a member of Mr. Wynne's staff. One letter of appreciation came from Mount Bauple. The station is only an experimental one and will take some time to bring it to a standard comparable with other low-powered stations. The power is low and therefore the range of the transmitter is limited and interference is experienced from stations with similar wave lengths. The mechanism has been entirely built locally by Mr. R. Beatson. For the present, experimental transmissions will be on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays on a wave length varying between 200 and 250 metres.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article151855650 RADIO V.K. 4 BB.

THE business and commercial world of Maryborough has seen many changes and affiliations since the war, and the well known business conducted by Mr. A. P. Wynne, in Kent-street has now joined those who have felt the need for expansion. To cope with the increased business, resulting from representation of the leading brands of radio and electrical goods, the firm has been formed into a limited company, to be known as Wynne Pty. Ltd. In making this announcement, yesterday. Mr. A. P. Wynne stated that the business will remain at the same address, and he would continue to be closely associated with it. Commencing business in July, 1919 at the Chronicle buildings in Adelaide-street in a small shop (now occupied by Mr. R. Skennerton, well-known barber), it was soon evident that the humble beginning was no bar to progress, and growing pains demanded larger space. This was acquired in Kent-street at the present address of Hansen's, the jewellers, but once more Mr. Wynne found himself restricted for space, and a further move was made in 1924 to the present premises of W. Adam & Sons in Kent-street. Whilst located at this address in May, 1931, Mr. Wynne was awarded the Radiola franchise by Chandlers Pty. Ltd., the Queensland distributor, and at that time Mr. R. J. Beatson joined the staff. PROGRESSIVE MOVES. The first regular transmission of radio programmes in Maryborough was commenced, using Mr. Beatson's experimental license and call sign "V.K. 4B.B." It is now past history how commercial broadcasting developed from this beginning, and today is represented by 4MB, formed in 1932 with Mr. Wynne as managing director since its inception. The final move to be made by the growing firm occurred in 1937 when the present premises in Kent-street were occupied. With the advent of the Wide Bay Regional Electricity Board, and expanded power services, the demand for radio electrical goods has been increased to such an extent that capital expansion was rendered necessary, and the new company has been formed to offer even better service to the public, and new lines not previously carried. Mr. Wynne gives the public, which has been so loyal and generously supported him in the past, an assurance that the present policy of fair dealing and service will be maintained. The staff has been retained and will continue to foster that good will which already exists between itself and its many friends, the customers.http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article149096430 BIG FORWARD MOVE: WYNNES A COMPANY Maryborough Chronicle 24,880 Queensland, Australia 13 November 1951 5 April 2021 2 National Library of Australia 1951 12 1952 1952 01 1952 02 1952 03 1952 04 1952 05 1952 06 1952 07 1952 08 1952 09 1952 10 1952 11 1952 12 1953 1953 01 1953 02 1953 03 1953 04 1953 05 1953 06 1953 07 1953 08 1953 09 1953 10 1953 11 1953 12 1954 1954 01 1954 02 1954 03 1954 04 1954 05 1954 06 1954 07 1954 08 1954 09 1954 10 Bob sells a second property located at Mt Morgan I HEREBY withdraw from sale from all agents my property situated at East St, Mt Morgan, same having been sold by Millar, Grieve & Jolly.
