Interesting.
It would be nice to see pix taken of the ops room at various stages.
The monitoring station in Adelaide was in suburbia at Somerton Park in an Army supply depot compound. I used to ride past it each day going to/from school about a block away. I assumed the tower and antennas were Army-related, and it was only later when I developed an interest in radio I discovered it was the then Dept. of Post and Telecommunications facility.
And yes. in the early illegal CB days it would come up from time to time with a VNA5 callsign and "caution" someone
