After being unable to receive RA (on 9580) for over a week, I emailed them and received this response:
Thank you for your recent correspondence with regards to the Radio Australia Broadcasts on Shortwave Radio in the SW Pacific. We are currently working with our transmission provider on a number of shut downs over the past week and again over the next week to investigate a range of technical and commercial issues for the service.
In the meantime the services are still on air via our satellite services on Intelsat IS18 and IS20 as well as our FM network across the targeted markets in the SW Pacific (for detailed information please see http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/waystolisten and of course Radio Australia is online at http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/listen
Kind Regards,
ABC

I contacted them the other day and got the same response. I also saw someone post this same response to a Facebook SWL group. It doesn't sound like they're abandoning shortwave to me, at least not yet. We shall see...

It sure seems weird to not hear them on 9580 in my local mornings over the weekend.
Always been there since I started SWLing in the 70's.
