630 KHz 4QN ABC Townsville Antenna Mast Upgrade.
With ABC shortwave now gone, the current best substitute option for listeners outside Australia is 630 KHz 4QN ABC Townsville. Since the new 198 metre AGL mast and 50 kW transmitter upgrade, the signal can be heard over much of SE Asia, PNG, and many Pacific Ocean islands such as Fiji, Norfolk, Kiribati, Guam, Tuvalu, Samoa, and others.

Here in Northern Europe the easiest Aussie by far is ABC Newsradio, Busselton on 1152 kHz, after Romania’s sign-off at 1900. Heard almost daily.
