What a grim task that must have been.
From VOA Radiogram #202. 2/12/2017.
"Radio Australia pulls the plug on shortwave
We reported last week about the last shortwave broadcasts of
Radio Australia on 31 January.
Here is a link to a video of the final shutdown of the
transmitters at Broadcast Australia's Shepparton, NSW, site.
Nigel Holmes, former transmission manager of Radio Australia,
came out of retirement to turn off the last transmitter."
