The
Old Old Timers Club was founded in 1947 by a group of amateurs who had
played a part in laying the foundations of electronic communications.
The requirement for membership was 2-way communication by wireless 40 or
more years prior to 1947. At that time the members were "spark" operators
in 1907 or earlier when there was no licensing authority. The requirements
have continued to this day - two-way wireless communication by amateur,
military or commercial means 40 or more years ago.
