G5XW 1948 England

Operator: E.C. Taylor

I am Russell Woodham, the current holder of the call G5XW.
I have been able to take this over as it was my Grandfathers. The 1st holder of this call was C. Bryant from the 1920's. The call was issued to my grandfather in 1936.

He was 1st licenced in 1931 with what they called an Artificial Antenna Licence, call sign 2AUQ.
They could carry out tests and prove they knew what they were doing, but were not meant to transmit any signal.
He was a founder of the Surrey Radio Contact Club (London based club) still around now.
