2CM

A major fire started in the station's equipment room in 1912 destroyed the valuable wireless facility.

The station was not re-established prior to the commencement of World War I when all experimental licences were revoked for the duration.

In 1921 2CM commenced broadcasting Sunday night classical music concerts on the long wave band (214 kHz.

Each day’s broadcasting ended with the invocation: don’t forget to wind up the clock and put out the cat.

The call sign 2CM is the only one listed by the Federal Government as never to be reissued, in recognition of the pioneering achievements of Charles Maclurcan.
