In 1963, a series of test broadcasts at 50 kW were beamed to Africa from
Wanneroo; six years later another series of broadcasts were beamed to
Africa using two transmitters at 10 kW; and in 1983, there was a series of
test broadcasts lasting three days beamed to Africa.
In 1984, there was a series of test broadcasts directed to Antarctica
using a 10 kW transmitter and back radiation from a rhombic antenna beamed
to the Kimberly region in Western Australia. Programming was in English
and French with a relay from Radio France International in Paris.
The shortwave transmitters at Wanneroo were in use for international and
outback Australian coverage for some 55 years, but they are silent now.
These units were withdrawn from service and closed down in 1994. During
their more than half a century of service, they were on the air with
programming for the outback from the ABC in Perth, and with a relay from
Radio Australia beamed to Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Antarctica.
On this occasion today, we salute Radio Australia for their 70 years of on
air service, which included the initial usage of the small 2 kW shortwave
transmitter VLW located at Wanneroo near Perth in Western Australia. QSL
cards for this unique shortwave service during its initial one year period
were issued from the ABC headquarters in Sydney Australia and these QSLs
were the early version of the orange colored card featuring the wild
kangaroo.

Dear friends, this afternoon I visited
and was not amused about the Tiger-Radar.
Click the "Realtime Data Display" and then "Tiger Bruny" button.
Then choose the Status Window or Geographic Plot!
Results: Bruny-Tiger is often abusing different frequencies between 10100
and 10150 kHz. (Unwin is operating out of this band.)
I think that WIA should contact La Trobe.
73 from Wolf, DK2OM, Dec 22
Dear Intruder Busters,
after having read the info of Wolf Hadel DK2OM I immediately went on the
Tiger-Bruny homepage.
Wolf is right: Bruny most of the time is transmitting on Band 10.
Here is my observation ("between" transmitting in the range 10105 - 10150
kHz there were always some QRGs higher than 10150 kHz):
This is what I read between 1742 and 1745 UTC (time UTC indication Bruny
homepage) on the Bruny homepage:
10130 - 10135 - 10105 - 10150 - 10150 - 10105 - 10105 - 10150 - 10135 -
10120 - 10145 - 10140 - 10145 - 10150 - 10105 - 10150 - 10150 - 10105 -
10105 - 10145 - 10150 - 10150 - 10145 - 10130 - 10105 - 10150
Here in southern Germany Wolf Hadel DK2OM and I are unable to hear BRUNY-
TIGER, so sending a complaint to LaTrobe University or to the German
