Club motto, "GO FLY A KITE !"

 

This club is about kites flying antennas, using them on 160 meters. It is also about

Guglielmo Marconi and what he had done with kites and antennas.

 

The person in the Marconi Kite picture, I believe is Captain B. F. S. Baden-Powell.

Behind the kite, whose the person holding it up?

 

Marconi: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritag
