[HCDX] "75th Anniversary of Australia-England Beam Wireless"

["Bob Padula" <bobpadula@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

An expanded version of the "75th Anniversary of the Australia-England
Beam Wireless" story is available for your perusal at:

http://members.tripod.com/~bpadula/fiskville.html

The story describes the recent visit by myself and Mick Ogrizek to the
historical site of the transmitting station at Fiskville, near Ballan,
80 km west of Melbourne, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the
first official transmission.

I have included a set of photographs taken during our visit, with a
side-by-side comparison photo of the station transmitter buuildings as
they existed soon after the beam wireless service started, in 1928.

Enjoy!
