On 30 th June 2002 at 2359UTC Australian Coast Stations Brisbaneradio/VIB, Darwinradio/VID, Melbourneradio/VIM, Perthradio/VIP, Sydneyradio/VIS and Townsvilleradio/VIT will officially close down. Our final broadcast will be made on frequencies 2182, 4125, 6215, 8291, 12290 and 16420 khz at approx 2350UTC. Australia’s coast radio service started in February 1912 – two months before the Titanic disaster and has continued uninterrupted through two world wars but has not survived technology, business or government legislation. The guarding of the airwaves in the Australian Search and Rescue Region will now be handed over to a New Zealand company, TVNZ, who have constructed two new radio stations at Charleville in Queensland (Callsign VIC) and Wiluna in Western Australia (Callsign VIW) and will provide Digital Selective Calling (DSC) facilities with follow-on communications via R/T or FEC modes. At this time we remember and salute all the radio officers past and present who without their dedication and skill, many lives on the high seas would have been lost.
