Very sadly all the Australian coast stations in the video are now gone. Used the HF and VHF radiotelephone services a lot when sailing around the coast. There were some great characters as these stations as well. Always remember the operator at VIT Townsville Radio reading from a comic at the end of the morning WX sched. Fond memories. 73's

In the 70"s, Morse is still the mainstream of ship's communications. Only passenger liners would have equipment which provide radio telephone and telex services. My R/O career started on 1978, working on a one years old ship. The ITT synthesizer console able to make phone call ashore thru coastal station! But for telex, only one ship in our fleet (total 80 ships) provide it!

Whatever happened to all that gear!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video. I was a ship's RO in the early 90's as GMDSS dealt its death blow....but got a short few months on a WT ship and it was grand! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jXf5uHhsmir6csi=DbG4Or1w-v6UDHdt kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHq8inZsiNx6j5osi=hLCF1AZeVLWXFYia
