7EX was a commercial radio station in Launceston, Tasmania operated by The Examiner newspaper from 1938. During World War II the women's programme host, Margot Parker, organised fund raising activities for the comforts of soldiers. This 7EX badge appears to be one sold in these fund raising efforts.
