Editing 2UE (section)

====2EU====
Electrical Utilities applied to the [[Postmaster-General's Department]] for a licence for a new B Class (later commercial) station licence. The station was to have the call-sign 2EU, based on the initials of '''E'''lectrical '''U'''tilities. However, before the licence, ''PMG – Broadcasting Station Licence'' No.12, was issued on 7 November 1924, Electrical Utilities advised the PMG that it wished to reverse the initials in the call-sign – thus the licence was issued to 2UE.<ref>copy of the original licence in the collections of Bruce Carty, [[Gosford]], [[New South Wales]]</ref> As to the reason for the change of call-sign, Jim Malone, Chief Manager of Telegraphs and Wireless for the Federal Government, suggested the change saying that 2UE had a "more euphonious sound".<ref name="Williams, Neville 1994">Williams, Neville, ''Australia's Radio Pioneers'', Electronics Australia Publications, 1994, Alexandria, N.S.W.</ref>
