FR-EARB 1928 Canary Islands
It is a short wave listener
card, but seems to have been used to confirm a QSO.
The EA4DO history of radio in Spain shows Arturo Gebauer as a
founder of the Club Radio Canarias, in 1925.
I can find no reference to him ever having received an EAR
transmitting call or other later one.
The emphasis by Spanish amateurs at this time was on
broadcasting; they were not then highly regulated as they were in
most European countries.
The FR-EARB call on the card is imposed over an earlier call - EO
76 which was the SWL callsign.
This man was an specialist
technician of the Radio Club Canarias de Las Palmas (1925-1929).
Meinke and Arthur Gerbahuer, two German radiotelegraph
technicians whose warships were left in the Canary Islands ports
after the armistice were promoters of broadcasting in the Canary
Islands.
