communications took place between aircraft, vehicles and portable units of all 

 kinds. 



Six more VHF radiotelephone stations were added to the System being located 

 at Red Rock Headquarters of Lake Superior Provincial Park, Agawa Bay, Mijin 

 Lake Park, Balsam Lake Park, Outlet Park and Wasaga Beach Park. 



Major equipment purchases consisted of: — 



(1) Ten VHF fixed station radio-telephones. 



(2) Eight 14 channel H.F. forty watt aircraft transceivers for new Turbo-Beaver 

 aircraft. 



(3) One hundred and twenty five VHF Walkie-Talkies for fire-line and other 



emergency use. 



(4) One hundred transistorized VHF tower transceivers to retire obsolete 

 equipment in four administrative districts. 



(5) Fifty VHF mobile radiotelephones. 



Complete radio installations consisting of one each 46 and 118/128 MHz 

 V.H.F. transceivers, H.F. transceiver and Automatic Direction Finding Equipment 

 were effected in six new DeHavilland Turbo Beaver aircraft. 



Development of a fully transistorized VHF six channel aircraft transceiver 

 took place resulting in the production, by staff technicians, of a prototype for future 

 production in quantity in 1966. 



The usual routine installation of new equipment together with necessary 

 maintenance of the whole System continued in order to effect Province-wide 

 communications to, and within, all 22 administrative districts.
