Its primary transmitter is located in Horsham which broadcasts on 594 kHz AM.
3WV – both the station's callsign and original name – was conceived in the mid-1930s, and officially opened on 25 February 1937.
3WV was intended as a back-up to Melbourne's 3LO during World War II.
Japanese bombs never struck Victoria, however 3WV did play a role broadcasting coded messages at times.
