RSGB Board Chair, Stewart Bryant, G3YSX has accepted the resignation from the Board of Ian Shepherd, G4EVK and thanks him for his service to the Board in 2023.
Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: Time signal station VNG Lyndhurst Victoria Australia
Date of recording: December 13, 1971
Frequency: 4.500 MHz
Recption location: Ancaster, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antenna
Mode: AM
Notes: Recorded on December 13, 1971, here is the announcement given by station VNG in Lyndhurst, Victoria, Australia transmitting with 10 kw on 4.5 MHz shortwave. This station was active from 1964 to 1987. Receiving location was Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. Amazingly, the recording was made on a cheap Demonstration Musicassette that had tape placed over the ends so it could be reused. It still plays today and was used to produce this digital version. The announcement is given twice and goes: "This is an Australian Post Office standard frequency and time signal transmission from VNG, Lyndhurst, Victoria on 4.5, 7.5, or 12 Megahertz." This was given during the 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th minute of each hour according to their QSL card.
