NB BE-3 1927 Bermuda Island
Operator: A.E. Redman says he was the only operator on the island at that time. He became VP9R.
NB BE3 Contact 7 June 1927 card
mailed 23 June. The NB I think means North America Bermuda.
This is the most interesting card because - Redman's QTH was
Devonshire, Bermuda. The card was mailed on s.s. Fort St George
(NY-Bermuda route)
Posted on the High Seas, with a Paquebot postmark on a Bermuda
stamp.
It is addressed to Ian Morgan, Radio BEM in Canada. Strangely, it
has a BEM registration rubber-stamp in the top left hand corner.
(BEM Warwick Bermuda).
Now BEM (card wanted) was in Canada, reason not known. Some years
back there was an envelope listed on eBay in the stamps section,
similarly addressed ( nothing else) - no great interest, except
that it had survived.
Now these are obviously made-up calls. I can find nothing on
google about early Bermuda radio history or calls.
The B prefix was allocated to Great Britain in the 1920's, and
there was a Land Station at Bermuda Dockyard with the call
letters BZB.
