Oswald Francis Mingay

Oswald Francis Mingay was a public servant, wireless signalman in the Australian Army during World War I, and an early wireless experimenter.

He was radio manager for Burgin Electric, and influenced that firm to establish Australia's first Class B broadcasting station in 1924.
During this time, Mingay ran his own radio manufacturing business. His publishing career commenced in 1930 with "The Radio Retailer of Australia".
