Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Jack Dully, who shares a Tecsun Australia article<\/a> highlighting several shortwave stations including Shortwave Australia.<\/em><\/p>\n

Shortwave Australia is a non-profit station transmitting from Central Victoria in the 120-meter and 60-meter bands on 2,310 kHz and 4,835 kHz. Late afternoon and nighttime coverage typically reaches much of southeast Australia under normal conditions. Of course, Shortwave Australia would be a brilliant weak signal DX catch from outside the region.<\/p>\n

Their programming is varied and intentionally distinct from mainstream broadcasters \u2014 a reminder that shortwave radio still provides space for independent voices and creative content!<\/p>\n
