I was writing a web page about “Famous Radio Amateurs and their callsigns” for the Highfields Amateur Radio Club when I received, via e-mail, a collection of text documents sent by my local repeater keeper, GW8ERA. I had a quick look and thought that it might be interesting to add this record of times gone. As they were received in a plain text format I thought it would be better if they were presented in a more favourable way in this technological age, so I have spent some time converting the plain text files into this PDF book. I also have tried to add a little about the man himself, but I have been unable to find out much about Jack. What I have found is in the “About the Author” at the back of this book. I have not edited the entries so, while some of the calls may still be vaild, do not use the data here for contact purposes. I hope this document goes some way to Dreyk’s wishes in the last line of his foreword. If anyone can send me more information about Jack Hum, G5UM, for inclusion in this book, I can be contacted via email at: [email protected]. Foreword by Deryk Wills. The first callbook issued by the Radio Soceity of Great Britain was in 1951. Before that Amateur Radio Operators made up their own Callbooks. Jack Hum, G5UM, was licenced in 1927 and his records of the 1920s and 1930s were written in longhand in two notebooks, which were discovered in his shack after his death in 1995. This personal Callbook is a unique historical record of the birth and growth of Amateur Radio in the British Isles. As there has always been a great interest in the owners of early callsigns it was felt that these records should be printed in a more permanent form. 5 6 EARLY AMATEUR RADIO TWO 2AW. H.H.T.
