VK3RTV is an amateur television station based in Melbourne, Australia. The station's repeater is located on Mount Dandenong and is one of a number of audio and video repeaters licensed to Amateur Radio Victoria.[1] The output of this repeater can be received by many but not all standard digital television receivers at the start of the UHF TV band, roughly where UHF Channel 16 would be if there was such a channel. The output of the repeater is only 30 watts and is at a much lower signal level than commercial, community and government TV broadcasters. A masthead amplifier would be of assistance in receiving the station but is not a necessity. An up-to-date list of Amateur TV capable Set Top Boxes or Digital TV receivers can be found at VK3KHB

[2] or the VK3RTV web page.

Transition to Digital

VK3RTV has been converted to digital transmission only, after 30+ years of analog transmission since 1979.[4][5] VK3RTV is now broadcasting with two Standard Definition digital channels (576i). The transition from analog to digital was partly funded by the Wireless Institute of Australia [6] and users / viewers of the service.

Programming

Amateur Radio Operators are restricted in terms of the content they may transmit in that the transmission of "entertainment" is not allowed. However Amateur Radio Operators are nonetheless able to transmit a wide range of educational material related to Amateur Radio, electronics and many other subjects.

Typical programs or video viewers can expect to see include Amateur Radio related videos, slideshows, electronics tuition, home videos, test patterns, sound experiments, re-transmissions of amateur radio nets and videophone contacts with other amateurs and link ups with International Space Station, SKYPE links to other ATV groups across Australia or just about anywhere in the world.

The following regular programming has been noted:

Most Saturdays around 7.30 PM, Peter VK3PB shows and hour or two of educational or Amateur Radio related material including episodes of the IPTV show Amateurlogic. From time to time a digital fish tank, similar to live Fishcam which used to be shown on Community Television on Channel 31.[7]

Most Fridays starting about 9.30 P.M. VK3KHB, transmits Astronomy related material as well as other subjects of interest.
