VK3RTV digital amateur television update
----------------------------------------
The arrival of Digital Amateur Television has stimulated interest 
in the Greater Melbourne and Geelong areas. There are 17 known 
stations with transmit capability and many more with digital 
set-top boxes and the like enabling them to tune in.
While transmissions on 446.5 MHz can occur at any time they are 
more likely after 7pm. Transmission material varies from such 
programs as the popular 'Amateur Logic' series to home movies.
Jack Braham VK3WWW particularly has a range of tapes depicting 
amateur activities. Another program source is NASA tapes which 
cover much of the technicalities associated with various space 
missions that are interesting and educational.
Peter VK3BFG has just received a DVD from the US with a 
comprehensive presentation on the dangers associated with high 
RF fields. The recent ARISS contact at the Sherbrook Community 
College went to air, and two video editions of the VK1WIA broadcast 
have also been shown on VK3RTV.
