Another dual operation was carried out from Sydney. The arrival in Sydney of Bert Hinkler's aircraft was broadcast to the world over 2BL on mediumwave, in addition to the special shortwave transmitter on 52.55 metres, This special dual shortwave and mediumwave coverage was given in association with Hinkler presence at the Sydney Stadium where the lightweight championship of Australia was being staged.

Up in Sydney, a similar operation had been in the planning stages for some time, and, the first Empire Broadcast program went to air over the AWA transmitter at Pennant Hills, on 10525 kHz (28.5 metres). The program was supplied by the mediumwave station 2FC (operated by “Farmers”) in conjunction with the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. This first Empire Broadcast preceded the Melbourne transmission by a mere two!

The Third Empire Broadcast program from Sydney was the result of a special request from the British Broadcasting Company, in London, and was heard "splendidly" in England. Gerald Marcouse, the British radio experimenter, actually rebroadcast she program back to Australia where it was widely heard, and it was also received in other parts of the world. Special messages in that program came from the Council of the NSW Rugby Union, from the Postmaster General, from the NSW Premier (Mr Bavin), and from the captain of the New Zealand cricket team, Mr T. Lowry (to the Marylebone cricket club).

A feature of this broadcast was the laughing of a pet kookaburra, brought to the studio for the purpose of "laughing for Britain" by its owner, Mrs W. Clarkson, the origination of the ‘’Jacko”' call used for introducing Radio Australia's transmissions, and which endured so well for many decades.

Actually, the first "Jacko" for Melbourne first laughed at the listeners early in February 1928 over 3LO - he also held the title 'Little Master Kookaburra".

The Sydney Empire Broadcast AWA programs also featured the "Cooee" calls, and were presented by Gratten Smith, which were quite popular and sought after by the British listening audience.

2ME used initially 10525 kHz. In 1930 it had moved to 9615 kHz. It also used 9760 kHz, and was finally used on 9590 kHz.

Programs tor Europe, North America, the Pacific, Asia, in English and other languages were presented.

The power of 2ME was increased to 20 kW. This was the highest powered telephony transmitter in the Southern Hemisphere at that time, and to mark the introduction of the new transmitter, an internationally important event was broadcast to a worldwide audience. This was the 29th Eucharistic Congress, held in Sydney, and reception throughout the world was excellent. The programs were also relayed in the USA by station 2XAD at Schenectady, and in New Zealand, and the event was held at St. Marys Cathedral, with massed choirs and a specially augmented orchestra.

The "Listener In" said: “the events of the Congress are now past history, but they all have provided radio listeners with a wealth of music such as few listeners could have heard in personal and descriptive accounts of ceremonies such as the Eucharistic Procession, which are not likely to be repeated in Sydney in the life of the present generation".

In Washington, USA, reports said that the special Congress broadcasts were "a good deal louder than the British Broadcasting Station at Chelmsford, England".
