Completed with Thanks - Frank Bell 1924 .. ZL4AA
« on: Tuesday 14 October 14 15:41 BST (UK) »
Frank Bell made the 1st contact by amateur radio and morse code between New Zealand and England in 1924 from Shag Valley near Palmerston, Otago ... 90 years ago.

This is a photograph of his amateur radio station and the equipment used dated October 1924.  It appears it may have been taken through the window or doorway of the building.

Is there a kind person please who can repair and enhance the photograph.

Any help would be much appreciated.

In anticipation thank you.
