Dear Vintage Radio, I am an Aostralian citizen living in the USA. Over the past 50 years I have written several thousand articles and radio scripts on the history of radio broadcasting worldwide. One of the very interesting areas of Australian radio broadcasting that has seldom been addressed is the series of 21 mobile radio broadcasting stations in the 9A series, 9AB, 9AC, 9AD, 9AE etc. These transmitters, 10 watts & 200 watts, were fitted into army trucks and taken up into the islands & Japan, 1944 - 1946. They were manufatctured in Melbourne & Sydney. Does anyone know who made these transmitters? Foes anyone have any indepth information on these stations? Thank you! AMP

G'day Adrian, I am unsure of who made the transmitters you mentioned though most of the major radio manufacturers had contracts with the Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force. Typically though, AWA, STC and Astor would have made the bulk of the equipment. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...
