Thanks Dave! most interesting, always like to see footage from this time period. And the time when The branch was pioneering what's happening now. Cheers. Dan

From the PRESENT VK3AML: I spent so much of my youth in the locale of this film. A nice collection of friendly ghosts - Branch, Ash, Dan... the wooden box 'corders and the best damn A.M. transmitter ever heard on 160 metres! Mind you, it was limited by the usage of a 6/40 in the PA at this time. The date would have been 1971-72 by the way, NOT 1969 - that's too early... I must digitise my pre-1975 recordings and add them to Dave's cache...
