Radio Australia Abandoning Shortwave
Posted by FRG7SWL on January 27, 2017 at 09:12:52:
One of the last remaining international broadcasters on shortwave, Radio Australia, will abandon that medium January 31 after nearly 70 years. Radio Australia gave listeners a scare last year when their Shepparton transmitters left the air for nearly a month. After receiving plenty of listener concerns, they said it was for transmitter maintenance. Now, sadly, they're standing down permanently. As the voice of the Pacific, their broadcasts will be sorely missed during times of inclement weather. R.I.P. Radio Australia Shepparton shortwave service.
