The ZL1BQ ATV repeater runs well. It often transmits a relay of NASA TV from Wally ZL1VWM. Art other times Teletext atyle beacon text pages are seen. Regular operator Ken ZL1TD is seen too. Ken is getting practise with DVD editiing programs to produce a good quality result from his travel material.
The Whitford ATV Repater (uses 23cm FM TV techniques) is still under action. New poles are in place and the pipes (for the coaxial cables) are buried in preparation. Running in the cables and connecting the aerials is to happen before the end of Summer.

The ZL1BQ ATV Repeater upgrade has taken place. The new BARCO modulator is working, though the overall output power is less because there is a little less drive to the power amplifiers.
The new low loss output filter from Italy is in place. Changing the receiver has been delayed to another time.
Reports are that the pictures are more stable and easier to synchronise to on TVs.
New Teletext pages for the beacon are being composed by Ian ZL1VFO & Grant ZL1WTT.
