Amateur history - the use of ATV for club talks

It is believed that one of the earliest uses of Amateur Television for a club talk was that by Jeremy Royle G3NOX/T to the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society on 7th December 1965.

Jeremy G3NOX/T (he later held the call signs G6NOX/T and G8ACN) used 70cm ATV with 2 metre talk-back for the transmission from his QTH in Saffron Waldon, Essex to the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) meeting at the Marconi College in Arbour Lane, Chelmsford.

The ATV session that evening also involved ATV transmissions from Ralph Royle G2WT/T.

Over a decade later on 5th April 1977 Jeremy gave another talk to CARS also using 70cm ATV.
