VHF,VK3ATN & other history

[VK5TM]

For those that remember operating on VHF and up in the 60's and others that may be interested in a little bit of stroll through history, there are several publications of the period recently posted on the World Radio History site - 6 UP, The VHF Amateur, VHF Horizons & VHFER.

The last one in particular, VHFER, will be of interest to those interested in VK3ATN and the moonbounce experiments.

Each pdf has 'about' a years worth of the publication.

Thanks for this.

I have 3 of Ray's yagi antennas here, still going well and standing up to the sulphur-crested cockatoos.

I remember when he was seriously injured falling off a tower, or riding one to the ground as it fell ....
