4AA 1926 New Zealand

I'm sure we all know the story of Frank Bell 4AA, OZ4AA, Z4AA, ZL4AA and his history making contact with G2SZ in 1924:
Bell, Francis Wirgman Dillon "Frank - 1896(NZ)-1987(NZ) - ZL4AA Waihemo, amateur operator, first to 2 way QSO New Zealand to Australia (Apr 1923), South America, USA (Sep 1924), England (Oct 1924, G2SZ); WW1 (gunner, France & Belgium till invalided 1917) - Relationships: Brother of Margaret Brenda Bell, first licensed female NZ amateur - TroveTag: "ZL4AA - Francis Wirgman Dillon Bell"

But Frank was never happy in the limelight and soon put aside his interest in amateur radio to focus on running the family sheep station.
On the other hand, his sister Brenda always shared Frank's interest and continued with it, being NZ's first licensed female amateur in 1927:
