History of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia/Topical/Lists/Detailed Biographies

yes Detailed Biographies A major portion of this Wikibook is the page of more than 3,600 potted biographies of persons involved in wireless telegraphy and broadcasting: Potted Biographies The potted biographies are typically of only a few lines with basic details of each individual. However, each such entry is provided with a link to enable a detailed biography to be presented (usually in association with 50+ transcriptions from the NLA's Trove). In practice only a small number of detailed biographies have been prepared to date, and they can be a little difficult to find amongst the thousands of potted biographies. This list of detailed biographies has been prepared to simplify that search.
