Aug 29, 2014, the day of the eruption of the Tavurvur volcano, NBC East New Britain (3385 kHz.)
went silent, but returned to the air again on Sept 22. Unfortunately this station, as well as all the
other regional NBC stations have been silent on SW for many years now.
A bit of volcanic history should be remembered here. In 1994, both the Vulcan and Tavurvur volcanoes
erupted, destroying a major portion of Rabaul, which at the time was the provincial capital of ENB. As a
result the capital of ENB was moved to its present location at Kokopo.
