Manx Radio [1368 kHz]
Off at 0015 exactly, on at 0445 exactly.
Looks like it was scheduled. Perhaps they’re checking to see if anyone noticed. (2023-11-13)
Off again 0015-0445 … so deliberate.

Sorry about the noise, but unfortunately that’s how things are here. DC is impossible now !

I guess that means they are trying to save on the electricity bill since programming continues on other platforms.

1638 United Christian Broadcasters Armidale NSW AUS (VRN):
These stations can often have the call sign UCB (United Christian Broadcasters) added to the state numeral, though they also identify as the Vision Radio Network. If this station had an official call sign, it would more likely be 2UCB.

1638 VNN826 Concord West NSW AUS (R.Lebanon):
This station can identify as 2ME or Radio Lebanon. However, the official call sign currently is VNN826, as allocated by the ACMA.

1638 Long Pocket Qld AUS:
Apparently, 1638 is also still in use. However, I am not currently aware of the exact programming format used. It used to be 4GW (The Goanna 16AM Country) and it may even still be.

1647 4ME Brisbane Qld AUS (R.Lebanon):
This station is at Mango Hill. 

1638 Brisbane is currently known as ACR Chinese Radio.

Manx Radio 1368
Manx Radio 1368 was off air last night. If you have overnight Perseus recordings it might be worth looking at 1370kHz. WDEA 1370 is running an all Christmas music.

That’s a few times in the last few months they have been off, I think that old 20kW TX is getting run into the ground, one of the presenters mentioned that when it eventually goes it wont be getting replaced.
