Cook's Radio Enthusiasts

Rarotonga at present possesses a STna n but enthusiastic group of island boys interested in radio as a hobby, thanks to the organisation of Mr. Stuart G. Kingan, and the generosity of radio amateurs as far distant as the United States who have contributed radio parts. Club members recently held a six-day holiday camp at Titikaveka village, where they built and operated their own arna teur transmitting station— and even contacted a Rarotongan in New Zealand, professional radio man David Evaroa, who is stationed at Awarua Radio, and who was the first Rarotongan ever to qualify for a radio amateur’s licence.
