Does anyone know, what is going on with Melbourne 1629 kHz?
This report from the US West Coast:
“Just found that Radio Rhythm – Melbourne on 1629 and listed as “inactive” is now playing 50’s and 60’s oldies. The TX must be the old Rhythm one since the offset is still 1628,9785. The carrier is also clearly visible in your screenshot.
A bit of a mystery who this station is though, I’ve been listening now for about 30 minutes and no ID, nothing. Great music though.”

I can definitely confirm that there is an oldies station operating here in Melbourne on 1629kHz. According to the ACMA database it is VMS264 operating from Angling Club Esplanade Williamstown Vic AUS. It is licenced from 5/1/23 to 3/1/24.
No IDs heard as yet, just continuous oldies music, more from the 1960’s.
The signal comes through at reasonably good strength here at my location when using an indoor loop.
