In 1975 I was transferred as SRO from Townsvilleradio\/VIT to Thursdayislandradio\/VII.<\/p>\n
At that time OTC on T.I. was the only CRS station left manning a Flight Service (FS) Unit on\u00a0behalf of D.C.A.<\/p>\n
At VII, CRS and FS units had separate operation rooms, divided by a large glass window.<\/p>\n
In 1977 Weipa took over the FS\u00a0function from OTC.<\/p>\n
1) Does anybody have a photo of the CRS and Flight Service Unit console on T.I.<\/p>\n
2) I remember that the DCA RX and TX equipment was ancient. Does anybody know what type of RX and TX were used by DCA on T.I.<\/p>\n
Thank you and regards,<\/p>\n
