As you can imagine, all this was a mammoth effort by the PMG, OTC,
NASA (co-ordinated locally from Deakin Exchange in Canberra), the ABC
and the commercial networks. A couple of thousand Australians were
involved in one way or another in getting the voice, telemetry and TV
to Houston.

Thanks for the writeup! The job would have been harder still when we
remember that there were no commercial TV networks here at that time,
at least not what we have now with programming controlled from one
place. Only the ABC had what could be called a network.
