Hartelijk dank! Ik was op zoek naar een kort fragment voor mijn podcast. Super!!    groet, Bas

Egem werd in 1973 de vervanger van Aalter. Aalter startte in 1958 op kanaal 2. Egem kreeg 2 UHF zenders. Egem ligt iets westelijker dan Aalter. Ik denk dat Ruiselede en Aalter twee verschillende plaatsaanduidingen zijn voor dezelfde televisiemast. deze plaatsen liggen slechts een paar km uit elkaar. Please login or register to see this link.

Periode 1971/1972.     Oké Walter is dus niet geloofwaardig volgens jou.   Maar Gerard van Dam heeft het volgende geschreven:   "Met name lui van Veronica zijn onderdelen wezen shoppen terwijl de bewaking lag te slapen aan boord van de MV."

" En ook Veronica 'leende' weleens een onderdeeltje van een van de Continental-zenders, heb ik begrepen.''     Van begin augustus 1972 tot eind 1980!   Please login or register to see this link.     Misschien dat je hier wat wijzer van wordt Piet?     '' After writing about related topics, including in Offshore Echos, I am now prepared to state that I am now as certain as possible that the spare/spares 10kW Continental 306B transmitter that came on board the Mi Amigo, after it returned to sea in 1972, was serial number 32. It was stored under the transmitter room stairs and went down with the vessel in 1980. However, I am happy to receive comments. Let’s start at the beginning. The first design of this series of 10kW Continental transmitter was in the late 1950s and designated 316. 10 were built with six going to AFRS (AFN) Germany at Kaiserslautern, Nürnberg, Berlin, Grafenwöhr, Stuttgart and Bremerhaven. This was followed by the 316B with 39 built between late 1959 and late 1963. They were given production (not serial) numbers 11 to 49, with no gaps. The first nine production numbers, from 11 to 19, were all for Canada. They were almost certainly ordered from late 1959 into 1960 and they were probably installed up to 1961. It is known that production number 20 was installed at KCBS San Francisco in 1961. The orders for the two 316B transmitters for Radio Nord were processed by Continental Electronics on 25 July 1960, with serial numbers 32 and 37, a significant gap in the numbers. But curiously they were not given production numbers until the end of 1963. When the production run of the 316B came to an end, this was replaced in 1964 by the 316C which was different both in electronic design and cosmetically. Two (production numbers 57 and 58) went to Radio Veronica’s new ship Norderney via Meister and Bollier. In late 1963 the last four 316B production numbers 46, 47, 48 and 49 were assigned to “Radio Caroline”. Two were the Radio Nord 316B transmitters, which had been removed from the vessel on arrival in Galveston in 1963. Those transmitters were refurbished at the Continental Electronics factory late in 1963 and given retrospective production numbers 46 and 47. Meanwhile production numbers 48 to 49, the final 316B transmitters built, were those ordered for Radio Caroline on the Fredericia/Caroline. They were given serial numbers 77 and 79. The refurbished serial numbers 32 and 37 served on board the Mi Amigo for Radio Atlanta and Radio Caroline South until the grounding in January 1966. Serial number 32 was transferred the Cheeta II for the stand-in service. Serial number 37 was moved to the port side of the transmitter hall of the Mi Amigo, facing the stairs, to allow space for the large 50 kW 317C to be installed at sea, following ship repairs, improvements and mast extension. When serial number 32 was removed from the Cheeta II, it found its way by tender to the Fredericia/Caroline off the Isle of Man, where it was stored in the hold. This sparked a rumour that it was a 50 kW, something Don Allen believed at least as late as 1973 (he spoke about it on the Mebo II, when I was there). Some time after the sale of the vessels in 1972, serial number 32 was more easily liberated from the Federicia/Caroline, prior to scrapping, than serial numbers 77 and 79, which were bolted down and wired in. Eventually serial number 32 arrived on the Mi Amigo.''    (Ian Anderson)   Please login or register to see this link.        

"Tweelingbroer Egbert en ikzelf kwamen ter wereld als 5 en 6de kind van Rie en Jelle Knot en wel in het Rooms Katholieke Ziekenhuis aan de Verlengde Hereweg 92 in Groningen."   Een Rooms Katholiek ziekenhuis, dat brengt herinneringen bij me terug. In Juli 1965 werd ik opgenomen in het "RK Sint-Anna ziekenhuis" in Geldrop voor een kleine operatie en verbleef er 9 dagen. Nu was de "kinderafdeling" van dat ziekenhuis toen niet te vergelijken met de situatie nu. We werden toen "verzorgd" d

Die vergeet ik niet, maar is een door ontwikkeling van RTTY en ik wilde het graag simpel houden. Beiden werken met FrequencyShiftKeying, FSK, maar RTTY gebruikt  of FSK of AudioFrequencyShiftKeying, AFSK, NavTex gebruikt BinaryFrequencyShiftKeying.   AFSK werd ook gebruikt bij de eerste computers om data op te slaan op een cassetteband.   Verder AFSK en FSK was ook de basis voor Packet radio en dat is dan weer de basis voor PC netwerken en het begin van het WorldWideWeb.

Vergeet de 490 en 518 kHz niet, navtex voor de scheepvaart. En Pinneberg op 147,3 kHz.

Al eerder (1942) was al aangegeven dat de 2 communicatie netwerken (telexnetwerk en telegrafienetwerk) niet erg handig waren omdat ze beiden grotendeels dezelfde doelgroepen diende.   Of er al in 1949 1 netwerk was is mij niet bekend. Feit is wel dat het telegrafienetwerk ergens ter ziele is gegaan. Een verdere automatisering, zoals Hans beschrijft was TTY evenals de Telex verbonden aan de Baudot code. De verdere ontwikkeling was RTTY, anders gezegd TTY communicatie middels de rad
