Carnarvon Tracking Station was a big story for local, West Australian and national publications.

Here are several news clippings (some also appear in other sections) –

 

Western Australia’s largest crane was dispatched to Carnarvon to help with the erection of the FPQ6 Radar. This clipping from The West Australian, 8 November 1963, was preserved by Hamish Lindsay. 2021 scan by Colin Mackellar.

A story about Carnarvon featured in Electronics Australia magazine in December 1965. Click the image for a 2MB PDF ile. The photos accompanying the article were supplied by Hamish Lindsay. The cover photo of a 30 foot (9 metre) USB antenna, however, is not the one at Carnarvon. It might possibly be the test antenna at the Collins Radio facility near Fort Worth, Texas.
