The government did not take up seriously the licensing and control of amateur and commercial radio operators- all this was in Code then, until about l00 years ago. There was something called the Roberts Bill. Popular electronics writer- and also a Science fiction man- Hugo Gernsback manufactured amateur radio gear and took up the cause of the Amateur- in a very real sense he can be called one of the founding fathers. Naturally, he used his magazines ( Modern Electrics, was one) as a , well repeater circuit. this was around l9ll or so. It fell under the department of commerce- the maritime section- as there were and are many Marine operators- catapulted into the news by the Titanic disaster a year or so later! It should be noted- emergency prepardedness aside- Ham operators were NOT directly involved in the Titanic disaster or rescue attempts and message traffic connected with it. SOS indeed!
