Re: CVC Closing Darwin: Hi Glenn, Sorry, I am pretty busy right now so
I've not had much time to answer your questions. We're past the weekend
and Darwin is now closed so too late on the last question. As to the
others:
GH: Whose decision was it to dismantle the Darwin facility rather than
repurpose it? One would have thought that Radio Australia would be glad to
have it back for its own full use. Since CVC was leasing it, whose
property is it now, on the air or not?
AF: CVC's lease expires at the end of June so we have to vacate the site
by then. You would have to ask Radio Australia directly about their
intentions.
GH: Are some of the transmitters, antennas destined for other sites?
AF: CVC is the owner of all the technical equipment on site, so yes, this
is variously being sold, redeployed, scrapped.
Do you plan to mark the final transmission(s) in any particular way,
special programming or announcements, and if so, exactly when; specially
endorsed QSLs?
AF: the time has passed, but I don't know the answer in any case!
Hope that helps, sorry again for the delay.

RADIO AUSTRALIA USING NEW RELAY SITES AFTER DARWIN CLOSES.
Mike Bird writes: The Cox Peninsula, Darwin HF transmitter station in
Australia was closed on 31 January 2010. CVC, a Christian broadcasting
company who leased the transmission equipment since 1999 after the then
Howard government closed the site in 1997, had decided to drop HF
