Thats not too well written after a receiver is equipment for wireless
telegraphy..

It's clear enough but what are the definitions of the words "station" and
phrase "wireless telegraphy"?

IMHO "station" is referring to a "transmitting station" or anything
designed to transmit and "wireless telegraphy" the transfer, without
wires, of "information". On the latter point ISTR that case law has moved
car radar speed detectors out of the scope of the WTA because no
"information" was received by the detector.

suppose a wi-fi point could be construed a wireless telegraph
transmitter)..

They are and they are licenced under a type approval/general licence.

AFAIK there is only one bit of "wireless" equipment that is an offence to
sell or posses and that is in band (Band IV and V) video senders.
