VngVNG was Australia's national time signal service, and operated on 2500, 5000, 8638, 12984, and 16000 kHz. VNG broadcasted time in binary coded decimal, during seconds 21-58. It also broadcast DUT-1 information during seconds 1-16. Tones were usually of 1 kHz. VNG also broadcast a spoken time signal as well. It was shut down December 31, 2002, due to a lack of funding. Many scientific and astronomical users of the service were somewhat inconvenienced at the shutdown, and daytime reception of overseas time signal services from Australia is generally thought of as rather poor as the nearest time signal services are BPM in China and WWVH (or WWV) from the United States.
