Auckland VHF convention 1984
Drew Morphett picture shown: circa 1984. "The Winners" was recorded in Studio 32 at ABC-TV's Ripponlea (Melbourne) studios. I was a trainee there at the time (notes from Adam VK4GHz 2016)
Receiving the commercial satellite
A 10ft STC microwave dish. Weighed a ton almost literally - ZL1BJB owned
Irving Spackman ZL1MO on far LHS. (Three in the middle unknown) Vaughan Henderson on the far RHS, very young then
Tom Bevan ZL1THG RHS with sunglasses and beard
The small dish was on 2.4G Amateur satellite. Down link I think. Around the corner was ZL1THG and others trying to RX it as well. Cannot remember what exactly we achieved.
