It could not be true. The Sparkies could not have been that silly- or could they

I am pretty sure you are correct.. In the early 80’s I was working on the IBM mainframes at AMP and all the DASD (disk storage) was in a lead lined room on the 7 or 8th floor at the Circular Quay office. This was apparently after the Navy had accidentally run its radar and caused significant loss of data. Oops

Are you sure it wasn't the '60s?

I was there 83 & 84 but the incident may have been in the 60’s. I think the building went up in 62.

Of course other incidents could have occurred at other times but as you implied, precautions were taken post event, it is anybody's guess.

Thing is, it could happen & cause a heap of damage.

84 rings a bell

Destroyer Escorts radar was ok. DDGs really took power up a level or ten . Rumour just added about a 3 second burst in a NZ city which took all out all A.T.M.s in that nice city. We all know ATMs are not pre 1980 I think Pretty sure NZ was a 86 effort. SPARKIES again

The BNZ had the first ATM’s in NZ in 1978.

Jeeeeeezuz Sash, those would also do a bloody good job of ploughing/aerating one's back garden while they are at it.

I doubt the Home Gardeners on here would appreciate that. But then again........???
