This showed up on the AM Radio email list. I thought it might be interesting.
I especially like the shots of the Collisn 651-S1 receivers!
And what's with the Kenwood rice box at the operating positiion?
"For those of you with marine radio experience in the south Pacific who
may've worked Melbourne Radio VIM (at any time between 1912-2002) this
video clip might be nostalgic...

The BA link is probably the alarming spectacle of me trying to reef out
the rfpa of the 2kW AWA 400-500 kHz tx at 5'16" (white shirt, glasses)
to have a look at the 3 x 4CX1500 in parallel ( Iwas more successful on
a later visit when I had the sea-going beard see 7'01")
The Mayday relay calls at the beginning are real - recorded during a
particularly nasty Sydney-Hobart yacht race in January 1998.
