70 Disparate Ham Radio Licenses.

V.p.: N.p., [1925-1931. This collection of Ham Radio licenses was gathered by Seattle radio and television pioneer Paul Morris (call letters: W7GT). Prior to the advent of television Paul Morris was on the staff of Seattle's KRSC news radio program. He was later part of the engineering crew of KRSC TV, the 16th TV station in the U.S. KRSC was soon purchased by Dorothy Stimson Bullit who promptly changed the call letters to KING, as it remains today. Paul Morris was a communication enthusiast as were many thousands of others across the nation in those heady early days. Morris must have sent out a call for licenses as he gathered up a resounding number of them. While the majority are from operators in Washington State, there are also many from other parts of the country. We could find no obituary of Paul Morris but he certainly was a man of his times. The lot also includes 5 copies of Paul Morris and a number of foreign liscenses although of a later date.
