1620 kHz GB Radio has reactivated here in Melbourne,
Australia. It is currently relaying 88.0 & 87.6 Hillside Radio.
Spoke to station manager Roger Thomas and he informs me that
GB Radio programming will return in 2-3 months. They intend to do half day of GB
Radio & the rest Hillside radio. Currently the
station ID's as "Access Radio.. Hillside Radio" with a heap of community
announcements. Has a mixture of oldies & modern pop. Station is currently only running 100w but will be back to 400w within 3
- 4 weeks. Groundwave signal is quite good at my QTH some 40km
away.
The station is keen to get reception reports.
Address is P.O. Box 2160, Bayswater, Victoria,
3153
PH: 9720 9696
Roger also mentioned that 1693 kHz had recently been bought
here in Melbourne by some other group. So expect transmissions soon.
Also noted 1503 3AK going back to programming after running a
loop tape saying they had gone to 1116 kHz. This seems a bit weird. The station
continues to ID as being on 1116 kHz.
