HAM TV

My dad went to school at UC Berkeley with Bob Melvin. Bob Melvin built a black & white TV camera at the end of 1948 and put it on 420/450 MHz ham band in early 1949. My dad built a receiver and received TV pictures from Berkeley at his home in Oakland, CA. Dad later build a camera and had it on the air for a short time.
( See June 1950 QST)

Here are a couple pictures of the TV endeavor.

One of our ATV members recently 'discovered' your web site. Amazing ATV pictures and all what your father done on ATV as well on EME areas in his life. We will publish both ATV pictures and link to your web site in our incoming ATVS News bulletin Nr.32 (PDF download). Please let us know if you find more ATV related pictures from early years.

P.S. Is there anywhere scanned article from 1950 QST available ?

With kind regards

Hi there,

I'm a summer student for Ryan's Well Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on building wells and sanitation facilities in developing countries and providing programs to motivate youth to get involved and join a cause that matters to them. I'm working on a video to promote youth activism and I'm doing it as a 50s-style educational video. I have a question about possibly using one of your great photographs in the video, just as a visual to a generic statement about radio. If you could e-mail me at n.l.bilyea@hotmail.com, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!
Nicole
