1906	Cecil Doutre, Dominion Superintendent of Wireless Stations for the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and Eddie Hughes, Project Engineer, sail on the Marine & Fisheries Vessel 'Quadra'. They make site selections for the new chain of wireless stations along the British Columbia west coast.  Point Grey cliff top was one of the selected sites.
1907	July 27/07 Daily Colonist paper quote: The contract for the Point Grey station at Vancouver has been given to the Royal City Mills, of New Westminster at $2,300 (…numbers fuzzy on original…) Station is built on an acre and a half lot.  Morse the is Officer In Charge.  Call sign is PGD.  By November test messages are being exchanged with Victoria.  November 24 Colonist paper reports the five original stations will be open for business on December 15, 2007.  Main equipment was driven by a Fairbanks-Morse 3 Horse Power gasoline engine driving a 1kW alternating current generator.  The transmitter is a Shoemaker type, with the open core transformer, tubular glass condensers, fixed spark gap with a helix inductance coil.  A crystal detector radio receiver rounded out the installation.  A 175 foot Douglas fir tree was used for support of an umbrella type antenna.   Leonard James as operator.
1908	Trail punched through 5 miles of forest to the 'outside'.  Canadian Pacific Telegraph runs a line into the Station from Vancouver.  J. H. Field relieves Morse as the OIC in February.  Operator Morse moves on to Cape Lazo Wireless.
1910	Connection to the British Columbia Telephone Company installed.
1911	Trail upgraded to a road.  Separate dwelling constructed.  Up to this time the operator's quarters were sandwiched between the engine room and the operations room, all in the one building.
1913	Call sign changed to VAI
1923	Operator Syd Jones arrives for a few days and then is off to Alert Bay Wireless.
1930's	Transmitter site moved to Lulu Island from Point Grey in the early 1930's at the outbreak of WW2.  Also at this time the station was moved to inland a kilometer to Westbrooke Crescent as the original cliff top site was required by the Armed Forces in defense of the Port of Vancouver.

     Point Grey Wireless station's location was eventually swallowed up by the burgeoning University of British Columbia.  The station moved over to Lulu Island and was co-located with the Department of Transport's facilities at Vancouver International Airport.  Transmitter site was on Garden City Road.  Receiver site was at the west end of the main airport runway.  After the 1950's this station was considered the major western Canadian wireless station.  The the late 1970's it was fitted with medium, high and very high frequency voice, teletype and Morse facilities.  By the end of the 1980's the station's usefulness had been bypassed by advances in communications, such as maritime satellite telephones and automated distress equipment, thus rendering Morse code and voice operations obsolete.  The stations were reorganized and integrated with the Vessel Traffic systems.  Operational communications in the coastal confluence zones are carried out via mountain top VHF voice radio, remotely controlled via the closest station.
