Talk:History of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia/Topical/Stations/2KY Sydney

G'day Guys, For the last few years I have been text correcting and tagging articles relevant to all aspects of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia in the National Library of Australia's Trove Digitised Newspapers online collection. As at October 2018, probably 100K articles have been tagged with about 5K unique tags. Some 370k lines of text have been corrected. All this with a view to improving quality of search results, but also to enable ready transcription of the articles.

Since the beginning of October 2018, I have been focusing on articles specific to 2KY and some 300+ articles have now been tagged and text corrected. In its first decade, it is impossible to separate the corporate history of 2KY from the individual history of its founding driving force of Emil Robert Voigt and a further 100+ articles specific to Voigt have been similarly identified.

An outline of proposed work on the 2KY article will shortly be posted here. Enjoy & please feel welcome to assist and contribute-Samuel.dellit (discuss • contribs) 01:30, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Trove searches
The following searches have been undertaken in Trove, with pertinent results being tagged and text corrected:


 * 2KY transmitter (both words) - 183 results as at 16 Oct 2018, all relevant tagged and text corrected
 * 2KY studio (both words)
 * 2KY aerial (both words)
 * 2KY Voigt (both words)
 * 2KY Voight (both words, common misspelling of Voigt)
 * 2KY Volgt (both words, common OCR return for Voigt)
 * "Radio for Labor" (phrase, name of a campaign undertaken by the "Labor Daily" newspaper in the first half of 1925, driven by Voigt)
 * "Labor Broadcasting" (phrase)

Emphasis has been given to content in the "Labor Daily" which carried almost daily content during 1925. Probably still much to be identified more broadly in Trove, but definitely now quite representative.-Samuel.dellit (discuss • contribs) 01:40, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
