I didn't even think that this was still a thing, it has been years since I have searched that band.

so come the end of the year are they shutting down all sites or just some in the SE QLD. ?
I would assume they would just stop the feed into them, they would still be active system but not receiving any data to Tx.

The last sites in Melbourne and Sydney have been shut down. The licenses have been surrendered back to ACMA.
