G'day all.

I have been going through the RCA Broadcast News mags on this site http://www.americanradiohistory.com/RCA-Broadcast-News-Page-Range-Guide.htm and in issue 112 from December 1961 http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-RCA-Broadcast-News/RCA-BC-112-1961-Dec.pdf I found an EXCELLENT 8 page article with pictures on RCA broadcast equipment used at Australian TV station QTQ-9 located Brisbane, Queensland featuring all RCA equipment from the TV cameras to the support gear right to the OB vans! :D

QTQ-9 went to air on 16th August 1959 and was one of a number of stations in Australia that purchased RCA broadcast TV gear and QTQ-9 was outfitted with three RCA TK-31 IO cameras in Studio B, a remote operated RCA TK-21 vidicon camera in Studio C and four TK-31B IO cameras for remote coverage!

Anyways for those interested in QTQ-9's history, Aussie TV history or RCA cameras used overseas, this article is well worth the read!:)

Thanks to this article I will soon be adding more details to my camera list page in the QTQ-9 section http://www.troysvintagevideo.741.com/cameralist.html .

Lastly I've attached some images of QTQ-9's TK-31s which I've sourced from various sites, videos and magazines.

Kool ! wonder if B.N. covered any other - even bigger -(0 network) - antipodean sales ?

How many Broadcast RCA Cameras Complete (Heads) are their Still in Australia after all those imports ?

..featuring all RCA equipment from the TV cameras to the support gear ...

Their transmitter (Ca, mid 50s design) at this RCA operation had trouble making spec - and decent picture for color - (like most high-level modulation designs) -- Yet must have been designed with NTSC in mind ? , modification to broader 7mhz chnl augmented problems.
