ABC Northern Territory in Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Katherine, Northern Territory was heard on 17 June 2011 UTC (18 June 2011 in Malaysia) and monitored from 21.30 to 22.15 UTC on the following frequencies: 4.835 kHz (Alice Springs) and 5.025 kHz (Katherine). Tennant Creek on 4.910 kHz was logged on 6 July 2011 from 21.40 to 22.10 UTC.  Transmitters used at these stations are rated at 50 kW.

Reception reports were submitted on-line to ABC Northern Territory in Darwin, NT and by post. I received an email from ABC noting the reception of the email, two days later. QSL cards are pending verification from respective stations.
