G5IV 1928 England

QSL card sent to Barbara Dunn G6YL.
Started as a SWL in 1925.
Licensed in 1927 at EG6YL, Britian's first licensed YL.

You have on your gallery a QSL card from G5IV, this was my Grandfathers call sign, his name was Clifton Trevor Malkin, the only thing I don't understand is that he was based in Barnsley, and it says Rugby on the card (unless this denotes the centre that the card was sent through), my grandmother used to tell me about how he used to operate a reciever in the local park from a pram (using a kite to raise the ariel) I remember him operating from the small bedroom at 5 Whitehill Avenue, Barnsley.
