With a Fanfare would come " These are The Herald and Weekly Times
Stations.. 3DB and 3LK" and here are the Football Results !!!!
On February 28, 1987, after a dramatic struggle, Rupert Murdoch
won control of the Herald and Weekly Times,and 3DB
the company his father had built.
It was on the occasion of the 1934 Centenary Celebrations that a relay
of these events from 3DB was heard worldwide each evening for nearly
two weeks, beginning on October 28. The shortwave transmitter that
carried this
program relay was the 3.5 kW unit, VK3ME at Braybrook .. just out of
Town
The Shortwave broadcasts from 3DB Were also heard all over Australia
