On March 1, 2ST switched off their transmitter on 999kHz. So, another station lost.

They now only transmit on FM - 91.7 around Nowra, and 102.9 in the Southern Highlands.

91.7 doesn't get out very well, and it's subject to massive interference from a Chinese station on 91.6 (they call themselves 2CR, having stolen it from the ABC station of the same name).

102.9 is clearly audible in Sydney, so this is how we have to listen to 2ST from now on.
