Here is a CENTRAL RADIO ASSOCIATION  Membership and Station Certificate from 1916.
Do you have any information about this group ?

something to think about,(?):   in red it says Nr. 1078, if they started at zero, they had 1078 members, however, maybe they started at 1000
which means he was member 78 ???     in April 1916 the ARRL was only  2 years old .  The first QST was published only 5 months previous to the issue of
this Certificate.   DO you have any information about the Central Radio Ass'n.        email jcwilson((at))ida.net
