Re: RAAF Noteworthy Movements
I was in North Perth, using a Diamond D-777 antenna and Uniden UBC-780XLT, connected with RG-213. Great combination for picking up milair UHF. Of course if the aircaft are 'at altitude' it helps!

Re: Scanning articles from CB Action, Radio and Comms, etc
It's been a real trip back in time going through this stuff. The highlight would have to be a copy of a circa-1986 publication called 'Australian Scanner's World', published by the old Electronics Today International magazine.

Re: Scanning articles from CB Action, Radio and Comms, etc
And I'm glad to be able to make some of your work available to a new audience here. The magazines really were the hub of information back then. Looking at the old magazines, the other thing you notice is the number of retailers who were in business back then, advertising scanners, amateur gear, ante...

Re: ABC TV news theme - club remix
It's because the 7:45am bulletin is considered the 'flagship' of the day's bulletins. At 15 minutes, it's the longest and is an institution in radio news.Does anyone know why the ABC (Radio) News at 7.45am in the mornings plays a longer version of the theme song than at other times of the day?
