>with music, concerts and talks.

>this later became 4GR [Gold Radio] which celebrates 80 years on air
>this month.

>Well over one hundred stations are listed from all states, with
>original callsigns, location, year of starting broadcasts, and the
>owners name. Origins of many familiar callsigns can be found.

>Fascinating images include a jazz band from 4PK Ipswich and a crystal
>set advert from David Jones in 1924.
>
>The Radio Heritage Foundation is asking people who knew these radio
>pioneers, their family members, and others with information about
>these 1920's broadcasts to come forward and contribute stories,
>photos and memorabilia before these items get lost or destroyed.
>
>The full list of pioneers from the early Golden Age of Australian
>radio is on-line now at www.radioheritage.net. If any stations and
>pioneers have been missed out, information about them is welcomed.
