Re experimenters list, Illustrated Tasmanian Mail, Feb 7, 1924

		Following the war there were a number of keen experimenters
	active. Foremost among these, and the first person issued with an
	experimenters license in Tasmania, was W. T. Watkins of Hobart. He was
	licensed to transmit and receive, and his experimental voice
	transmissions were the first heard by the majority of other
	experimenters in Hobart.
		The weekly Illustrated Tasmanian Mail, in early 1924, published
	a list of all licensed experimenters in Tasmania. Of the 58
	experimenters listed, six had permission to transmit, the remainder
	were licensed for receiving only. However many of those with receiving
	licenses later became active transmitters .
		Regular broadcasting had started in Sydney and Melbourne
	by this time, but the transmitters were low in power and their signals
	could not expect to be heard in the south of Tasmania unless a valve
	receiver was used.
		The later licenses are annotated with a C or V to indicate the
	use of crystal or valve receiving apparatus, the proportion being 18
	crystal sets to two valve sets. There would not have been many signals
	available for those only equipped with crystal receivers, apart from
	the few local experimental transmissions and morse from the Coast
	station and a few nearby ships. 



	Decide what I am going to say before starting!
	1   Radio becoming popular   mainland broadcasts
	2   Need(?) for experimental license   large aerials advertise
	3   Few transmitters
		many named later gained TX lic   needed morse proficiency
		when did theory examinations start?
	4   Large proportion of crystal rcvrs   few possible signals
