Is anyone here connected to the Wireless Hill Museum?

Post by Reevesy89 »

I was watching a video filmed there in 2010 and inside where the guys were operating from was the same radio I first got as a kid. I have no idea what it was called but I could pick it out of a line up 10 times out of 10. If there is anyone here that could tell me what it is I would be eternally grateful. It is a old panel mounted receiver.

The WA VHF Group is based at Wireless Hill. You could try contacting them and see how you go.

They're not 'the museum' itself, I believe that's run by the City of Melville but at least it's a starting point.

How about posting a link to the video and what time during the clip the radio appears ?

Yep have a chat to the VHF Group, that's their shack so I'm sure someone in the group can tell you at least something about it :)
