Recent HistoryThe hard rains of change have hit our 93.3 transmitter. In late May the Dorrigo Plateau received in excess of 900mm of hard rain in 4 days. The sheer volume of the rain forced water into the transmitter hut AND into our main transmitter causing extensive damage. While we are waiting for the insurance claim to be processed, 93.3 is broadcasting on very low power. Listeners in Dorrigo township and immediate surrounds can hear us; but to those further afield, who are accustomed to the distinctive Community Mudbrick sound of the BBB’s, we apologise for any inconvenience. But, watch this space. When the damaged transmitter is replaced you will hear us loud & clear once again. Our Bellingen frequency 107.3 is operating as normal. 1 In 100 Year Flood ? THE BIG FLOOD!!!!!We had been worriedly watching the waters lap at the back of our mudbrick home in recent floods, but the deluge of March 31st 2009 was something we could hardly prepare for. Like so many homes and businesses in the Bellingen / Urunga / Sawtell / Coffs Harbour area, we were left in shock and awe at the sheer intensity of the rains and the suddenness of the torrent of storm water which gushed straight through 2BBB. It appears that none of the drainage systems around here are designed to cope with the intensity of the downpours that are coming our way due to climate change? We were still valiantly broadcasting as the the water cascaded in, and once the rains had subsided and the electrician had given the all-clear, we were back up on air in a jiffy. Thanks go to all of the volunteers who pitched in and rescued our valuable equipment and who then took part in the massive clean-up. The Post-Flood smell had to be smelt to be believed! If there is any way you can help us recover, please do call in - any help at all will be very gratefully received!
