"The end of an era..."
|
At approximately 2359 Hrs UTC on the 31st of January 1999 a simultaneous transmission was
broadcast around Australia by all exsisting coast stations.
The transmissions marked the end of 87 years of morse operation on the marine bands.
Morse, or Radio Telegraphy, will no longer be provided by Australia's
Maritime Coast Radio Stations - VIM, VIS, VIB, VIT, VID & VIP |

Below is the links to download recordings that I made from 1800 UTC onwards, until the
end of the final transmission by Melbourne Radio - VIM. All times are local EDST.
Oh by the way, the operator who sent the final transmission from VIM was Mike.
