Radio Australia to cease Asia shortwave service this weekend
Updated 30 January 2015, 12:22 AEDT

On Sunday, Radio Australia's shortwave signal to Asia will be turned off, another result the ABC says of recent government funding cuts.

Shortwave broadcasting into the Pacific will continue, but signal strenth outside Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Fiji may be degraded.

I've been hearing Triple J rebroadcast on Radio Australia a few mornings this week. Reminds me of when there were some budget cuts over there a few years ago and they rebroadcast Radio National every morning. Made for interesting listening, though.
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
