The Lothians Radio Society had an exhibition stand for a number of years at the annual Hobbies and Handicrafts Exhibition held by the Rotary Club of Edinburgh in the Waverley Market.

1954

At the 1954 Hobbies Exhibition the LRS stand was visited by the Lord Provost, Sir James Miller and Lady Miller, seen here speaking into the microphone with Arthur Grainger GM3BQO standing behind her. In the rear is the (very large and heavy) RCA ET4336A transmitter owned by Ken Senior GM3AEI (SK), which is still (2013) owned by the Senior family (Mike GM3PAK, Marian GM1DCB, Joan Rosselle now-GM3AEI and Neil GM1ZOX).

Judges' comment: "This is a less common field of endeavour in Amateur Radio circles and the technical skill and workmanship displayed are worthy of being Very Highly Commended".
