Unsure whether this is Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, or Katherine, but
per ABC website it sounds like it's probably Tennant Creek.

The transmitter for 4910kHz is at Tennant Creek; the origin of the programming
at that particular time will either be Darwin or Alice Springs, depending on
which of the two programs that the shortwave transmitter takes. My guess is
Alice Springs.

Thanks!

Last night, signal was much weaker. So I guess propagation varies a
lot.

I wonder if they use NVIS (near-vertical incidence signal) techniques
like NBC Port Morseby PNG does on 4890 Khz. Outback Australia seems
like it was made for NVIS shortwave.

Port Moresby "DOES"?

Thought NBC had been off the air for ???

I dunno. I haven't been SWLing for a long time; just starting up
again.
I guess the tsunami permanently knocked it off the air?
Sorry to hear it. I used to listen to that as a kid.
