1919 Fisk

[edit]

I am confused by this reference to George Fisk - and don't know Langdon's sources. I believe it was Ernest Thomas Fisk who pioneered early radio in Australia but perhaps there's a relation George who actually did this particular broadcast? Can anyone help?Sterry2607 (talk) 03:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the reference to Ernest Thomas Fisk & wikilinked, by the way the article on Fisk needs a lot of workSamuel.dellit (talk) 22:23, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1890s

[edit]

This list/article subsection needs to be fully reworked to reflect the more detailed material currently being posted in the History of broadcasting in Australia#1890s. These early wireless experimenters were the pathfinders to Australian radio and most, if not all, warrant entries in the timelineSamuel.dellit (talk) 22:30, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Experimental FM transmitters

[edit]

The so-called "experimental" FM transmissions (mono of course), which served a small number of hi-fi enthusiasts, were discontinued in the early 1960s. The South Australian transmitter was not dismantled however, but kept operational by the PMG department against the likelihood of a line failure to Crystal Brook, as it had always been the backup program source for 5CK. In order to comply with the letter of the law, the audio signal carried by this link was scrambled (by frequency inversion of a section of its bandwidth) to frustrate the audiophiles. Documentation for this curious piece of radio history is needed. Doug butler (talk) 03:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
