Robert Wesley-Smith used this radio transmission equipment to receive and publicise broadcasts from Radio Maubere, an East Timorese radio station run by the Timorese liberation movement, Fretilin,from September 1975 to December 1978.
The homemade, clandestine receiver – complete with a fruit-tin antenna – was frequently moved around Darwin to avoid detection and prosecution as Wesley-Smith and other activists received, recorded and distributed the information heard over the airwaves.
