3yb provided a similar service in rural victoria between october 1931 and november 1935. initially, the station operated from a ford car and a ford truck, but from 17 october 1932 they operated from a converted 1899 former royal train carriage. while the engineers were setting up the station's 50-watt transmitter in the town being visited, salesmen would sign up advertisers for the fortnight that 3yb would broadcast from that region. the station was on the air from 6:00 to 10:00 pm daily, and its 1,000-record library was divided into set four-hour programs, one for each of 14 days. in other words, the music broadcast from each town was identical. the station was operated by vic dinenny, but named after announcer jack young from ballarat. on 18 january 1936, dinenny set up 3yb warnambool, followed on 18 may 1937 by 3ul warragul.
