Announcement of VNG closure in 2002, found in my old mailbox (original research):
3 June 2002 National Standards Commission P. O. Box 282 North Ryde NSW 1670 Australia Dear Radio VNG user Re: Radio VNG Australia's Standards Frequency and Time Signal Service It is my unfortunate duty to confirm that this service will finally cease to operate from 1 July 2002 after approximately 38 years of service as a unique part of Australia's technical infrastructure. Therefore, sadly this is likely to be my last general communication with the users of Radio VNG. I am very proud to have been associated with the service over the last eight years, and I will retain many fond memories of the people, challenges and successes associated with operating this service. Responses to all QSL requests that we have received are about to be dispatched. Further, the Commission will continue to respond to QSLs for receptions up to the 30 June 2002, This facility will continue until 31 December 2002. The Commission also continues actively seeking alternative means of disseminating traceable time and frequency in Australia through its National Time Committee. This has been recently reconstituted following the retirement of Dr John Luck its long serving Chairman, and will continue to promote the development of the national time system. Finally, the Commission is keen that the plant and equipment from Radio VNG be found a suitable home in retirement. Ideally this will reflect the contribution that Radio VNG made to Australia's national time system and technical infrastructure for so many years. Should you have any suggestions and/or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact me at the Commission, Ph 02-9856 0328 (direct), e-mail rbrittain@nsc.gov.au. Thank you again for your support and interest in Radio VNG over the years, it has been a great honour and pleasure working with you. Yours faithfully Dr Richard Brittain Secretary, National Time Committee
