A special display of vintage radio equipment was recently held
in Melbourne to mark the 25th anniversary of the Historical Radio Society of
Australia (HRSA). That display took place over the weekend of 13-15th April 2007
and there were members and visitors from all states (except the Northern
Territory) and from New Zealand.
The display, held at the Holmesglen TAFE conference centre,
gave HRSA members a chance to get to know one another and to enhance their
skills in restoring our important radio and television heritage. It was put
together by a dedicated band of enthusiasts and there was even an auction for
those who had surplus items to sell.
By the way, HRSA members come from a diverse range of
backgrounds. While many are retired and many come from non-radio/electronics
back-
grounds, others are currently involved in the industry at the cutting
edge of technology. Even then, many have no professional connection with radio,
although they may come from electronics backgrounds.
