I am trying to recall when in OTC Supply purchasing and sending\/shipping goods to a Coastal Radio Station (CRS) which was – I think – on Bribie Island Road, Ningi; via Caboolture.<\/p>\n
I’ve also found some comments by Neil Yakalis on Robert Brand’s exotc site about Lindley Deslandes, retiring after\u00a042 Years Service (Neil was apparently a former workmate). The item begins: “Lindley Deslandes is retiring from Telstra Managed Radio Ningi Qld after 42 years service on Tuesday 14th<\/sup>\u00a0August 2012.”<\/p>\n Neil’s comments include, “Later when Doonside was in the process of closing in January 1996 he [Lindley Deslandes] moved his family to Qld. In moving he followed the transfer of transmitters to Ningi & remote receivers onto Bribie Island.”<\/p>\n The “1996”\u00a0reference probably explains why I couldn’t find anything about Bribie Island Radio in the five archive books that were produced at the time of the OTC-Telecom merger (1992).<\/p>\n Was there, in fact, ever a “Bribie Island Radio” or was it always “Radio Ningi”?<\/p>\n Anyway, \u00a0I think it was a coast radio station.\u00a0 But, if not, what purpose did it serve and how does it fit into the history of OTC?<\/p>\n And finally(!), does anyone know where on Bribie Island the remote receivers are located and\/or whether the facility is included in any of the island’s museums and\/or “historic sites”?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Lindsay Deslandes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Peter Grove wrote: I visited Bribie Island last week at the end of my Queensland holiday but couldn’t find any mention of a radio station on local maps, and I’m wondering if anyone could clarify the situation?
