Review This Podcast
 An insight into a small group of Radio Hams in Melbourne who (since the 1970's) have conducted rambling and inane conversations until the early hours of the morning via complex multiplex radio connections that even the Oz Govt Radio Authorities have yet to figure out.

    Sick Of Missions
    Author: vk3ase@yahoo.com (Mr Stu)
    Played this recently on air and i have not heard it for a while but it is in the classic class,stu moaning about being sick of the missions after being on for 4 years.I think this would date back to about 1979. Quality is not the best as it is an of air recording and we thought it was not being loged but maybe that is why it is as good as it is. (1h 24min 35meg)

    2nd Last Branch Missions
    Author: vk3ase@yahoo.com (Mr Stu)
    This is the second last Branch missions from Oct 2003 and was the first time he was on since 1998. Incomming audio was via netmeeting and as you will hear the quality is no way as good as Skype. Dallas and the Bek join latter on. All these recent missions have not been put up before as frankly i did not concider them all that interesting, but now as they are the last in a long line there is some appeal. 2003 (2H26min 61meg)

    Early Hams
    Author: vk3ase@yahoo.com (Mr Stu)
    Recordings of Aus hams in the 1940's,Gee they sound like a lot of gerryatrics but the fact is they were young men then. It was just the way people talked at that time (Righto old boy!). I like the bit where the guy says he has worked the band since 1928. Also interesting to hear what their rigs sounded like then. Includes an intorduction from Ivor MOrgan who made the recordings at the start of the file.
