	Dear John,
		  I heard on Sundays's VK7WI broadcast that you are now the
	WIA's Federal Historian and interested particularly in the RAAFWR
	and women in amateur radio.
		  The WIA here has recently been given some log books and
	papers and magazines belonging to the late VK7DX who died in 1931.
	I am at present looking through them to report on the contents so
	that we may decide what to do with them.
		  One of the folders I have sorted out contains all the papers
	referring to his work with the RAAFWR as the Section Guard Station for
	Tasmania from its inception until his resignation.  There is also his
	RAAFWR log book.
		  I don't know what the club is likely to wish to do with all
	his stuff, but a decision should be made soon.
		  I have also been talking to some of the members of the RAOTC
	with tape recorder running - I find that I am no interviewer, as there
	is far too much of me on the tapes - and the quality is poor.  I am
	planning to go and talk to Joy Batchler, VK7YL, soon and I'll see if I
	can shut up a bit and do something worth copying for you.
