       From the Listener In, 14th March, 1925.

       The Launceston Radio Experimenters' Club made a name for 
       itself last Saturday when the Henley-on-Tamar regatta was 
       carried out by means of wireless.  A speed boat was fitted 
       with an efficient wireless telephony apparatus which 
       conveyed the results of races etc., to a giant loud speaker 
       stationed on the regatta ground.
       In this way the results were made known to thousands of 
       spectators who were unable to see the finish of the races 
       in true perspective.   Quite a number of the boats 
       participating in the regatta were fitted with wireless, so 
       that it was possible for the yachtsmen to communicate with 
       their friends during the course of a race."
