Her husband was SP1AK
Janina Burchard was the first YL
ham operator in Poland before WW2. She lived in Poznan', Western
Poland (my home city). Her call-signs were SP3PYL and SP3YL in
the "unlicensed" period (until approx.1933). Call-signs
were then issued by PZK, without regulation by the Government.
Later she became SP1YL in the "licensed" period since
about 1934, when the Govt issued SP1, SP2 and SP3 calls. Her
further whereabouts are unknown (to me).
