Amateur Radio's history now exceeds 100 years, with the first recorded QSO having taken place on March 18, 1909. Unfortunatly, the original Old Timers and the original Elmers are gone, and consequently a part of Ham Radio slowly continues to fade. Many early events were poorly documented, and we are in danger of losing some of our precious history to the sands of time. This forum was created in an effort to research, discuss and preserve as much of that history as possible.
Everyone is invited to contribute and share whatever facts, trivia, reminicenses and recollections of radio's past that they can. Even today with all of our impressive technology, many of our common procedures and traditions can only be traced back to murky origins and "folk lore."
Please help to preserve Ham Radio's history and participate in the discovery of some of our lost origins. Share what you know. Read about what others remember. Join us. You are cordially invited to participate in our many substantive discussions. Please read, enjoy, and contribute your reminicenses with the group. Remember, the thoughts that you share today will be the history that's preserved for tomorrow.
Thanks,
Peter Buehner, N8PB

Re: 97th Anniversary
Fascinating! As I understand the history, it wasn't just amateurs that had to be licensed, but all transmitting stations. In some countries, like the UK,
