1976 A Snapshot of Technological Testing in Television Broadcasts

The image captures a moment from television testing, showcasing an array of vintage broadcast equipment with various dials and switches.
In the background, there's a monitor displaying multicolored test patterns typical for color calibration or signal analysis on TV screens.

#NHS Estates gave security clearance for pictures of the #transmitter #infrastructure of #Ipswich #CommunityRadio to be published, you can now see what me and my friends hauled up to the top of the Maternity block and installed in the plantroom..

My H2X Comms Headset Adapter is now available to order on Tindie!

Have you ever wanted to use your own 3.5mm TRRS in-ear headset to listen or talk on Comms?

This adapter converts 3.5mm TRRS stereo+mic headset to mono 4-pin XLR comms connector, as used widely in broadcast, live events and theatre.

The circuitry and receptacle fits entirely within the high quality Neutrik XLR-4FXX connector, so there’s no hanging dongle to get caught on things.
It also has a purple boot and label ring so it won’t get mixed up with other XLR gear in the control room.

Students in #Scotland have rebuilt a modern replica of the original #television set invented by #Scotsman John Logie #Baird - in time for October, when it will be 100 years after he first demonstrated it was possible to televise moving pictures.. #TV #BroadcastEngineering

1985: me and my friend from highschool experimenting with 2 transistor home built FM #transmitters, later #Stentor kit from the #Netherlands, transmitting between 105,6/105,7/105,8 MHz (depending on how much TX had drifted) and putting 1km "not spot" into comms for British Rail and Reading Buses on their then new Stornophone #VHF radio schemes (which bizarrely had mobile TX on 150+MHz and base on 105-106 MHz (this portion of the band wasn't officially allocated to broadcasting back then!)

2025: working with my friends at #IpswichCommunityRadio doing it all legally on 105.7 - 50W TX power, stereo, digital soundprocessing, dynamic RDS, about 30-40km range, full telemetry on the transmitter and bandpass filter so we don't upset anyone else on the band.

Listening to Em's 80s Hour of Fun last night (she featured 1985 on the episode) reminded me of this (and that 40 years have passed since I started being involved with #radio!)

(en eindelijk na 40 jaar kan ik ook de andere kant van de bouwfolder (die was in het Nederlands geschreven) voor de Stentor lezen!)
