AUSTRALIA   6080   ABC Local Radio, Shepparton Vic.  1019-1113+  While
looking for R. San Gabriel, was surprised to find this here instead.  "The
Louvred Lounge" with host Mac Cocker.  Mx, ABC nx, TCs, short features, and
many promos for 105.7 ABC Darwin and 783 ABC Alice Springs.  Decent signal
and clear.  Wondering why this suddenly showed up on this freq, i checked
into the ABC Web site and gleaned this info:

"The ABC advises that it is in the process of upgrading its Alice Springs,
Katherine and Tennant Creek shortwave Local Radio services. This work is
being undertaken to provide greater reliability of these services.

Each service will be required to be switched off for an extended period
while replacement transmitters are installed. The work on the Tennant Creek
transmitter has now been completed and the service has recommenced
broadcasting. The Alice Springs (Roe Creek) service is now being upgraded
and is currently off and the Katherine service will also be turned off for
an extended period from Tuesday 30 May.

 From this date those listeners who usually tune to the Alice Springs and
Katherine shortwave services will need to retune to the Tennant Creek
service to continue to receive ABC Local Radio. The ABC has also provided
an additional service, which will broadcast into the Northern Territory
from Shepparton, Victoria on 11880kHz during the day and 6080kHz in the
evening."

So apparently I caught the first temporary broadcast from Shepparton by
accident.  (Valko 30 May)
