I have two DVDs with 1980s TV DX highlights that could be uploaded to my Google Drive. For starters, this 1984 ABMQ4 video could be uploaded as a 720b video. Big difference to 240p.
Well spotted. I have ACMA lists from the mid 1980s which showed what QLD FM was on air at the time. Minimal FM on air at the time which translated to minimal or no herringbone picture interreference to ABMQ4. The female local ABC Mackay news announcer appears to be mixed indigenous, or Indian. She likely doesn't know this recording of her even exists.
It was a totally different era of DXing which was before my time. Born in 1996 I did have the pleasure of TV-DXing from 2000-2013, living on the Central Coast provided three different translator outlets (one site simply had off-air receivers pulling the analog feed from Sydney from a RX a Yagi. Which meant that the translator would re broadcast visual QRM - ah good times. Taree television was never a catch sadly, however I fondly remember the analog VHF TV transmitting from Sydney and NBN3 Newcastle/Mt Sugarloaf received with a VHF phased array antenna, which worked well for FM-DX. UHF CH 31 (community TV) from Sydney was also a catch. Good memories indeed. The only analog TV channel broadcasting on the FM broadcast band was NBN3 (Visual 90.75, Audio 91.75/92.05 (and the audio of NBN on the right channel speaker would often be replaced by 92.1 (transmitting from Sydney). The visual noise on the picture was fun to watch too.
"ABMQ4 Mackay, Queensland 95.25 MHz local news program received via 1,424-kilometre Sporadic E on January 13, 1984." "Todd Emslie Sydney, Australia" That is what the start should say
@ 2:58 - 3:03 I thought i heard something from Melbourne , what is/was the name of second station on this recording ?? btw: 95.25mhz , in Belgium is used for FM radio broadcasting , actually 95.2mhz ;)
Received ABMQ4 from Port Moresby PNG during my time; 1975-1979 (+MVQ6). Stacked ChannelMaster "Crossfires", rotator, coax, Kingray 20db VHF masthead amp! July-Aug yearly, NQ signals would 'fade-in' from snow. Cairns & Townsville in particular staying virtually 'rock steady' in full-colour for about two weeks. The signals tended to slowly fade over weeks ending about October/Novermber. Others logged: TVNZ Network 1, then Ch0 Brisbane, Sydney, Melb. ABC Wagga Wagga, NBN3 etc.
I would be interested to hear more details regarding your 1975 to 1981 Port Moresby, PNG TV DX receptions. Around this time, there was a DXer named George Francis, who also received TV DX from Asia.

It was funky how you could hear the adjacent channel interference on the audio during fades (as the BSB FM service would have been 100-125 KHz away

BTW - the presenter is gorgeous- a rarity to see such complexion too.
Loved the static
