Description
Press photograph, with typed caption on reverse: Miss Ruth J. Peiser, 22, of San Francisco, said to be the only girl in California having a licensed wireless sending station "went on the air" recently in the amateur's wave band around forty meters. Miss Peiser, or station W60K, is one of a half dozen women to hold amateur radio operators licenses, but is the first to be actually operating her own station. There is a reason for this as Miss Peiser is a member of the staff of the Sixth District Radio Supervisors office, making radio her life work. Photo shows -- Miss Ruth Peiser at her set receiving the congratulations of many of her "Ham" friends of the air on the opening of her station. "Mrs. Ruth Patrovich" is written in pencil on reverse.
