Dan Notes: Radio 567 is Back On The Air from NSW

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who writes:

Hi Thomas
Update to my post in February: https://swling.com/blog/2026/02/music-on-shortwave-from-down-under/

The low-powered Australian, Radio 567 from Wee Waa, NSW, seems to be back on the air after several months’ absence.

I heard them with a good signal on April 22, 2026, beginning around 4970 kHz at 1717 UTC tune-in, using Kiwi SDR’s in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. The signal was even audible using the Kiwi in Perth, Western Australia.

Their format is oldies music from the !950’s, 60’s and 70’s, and here is a recording I made where they play a few commercials and give a station ID.

Here is another recording made tonight, April 24, 2026 at 0018 UTC on 4970 kHz. Huge signal on the VK3SOL SDR in Strathbogie, Victoria.

The station has an online presence here: https://radio567.com.au/
