Approximate Schedule for relay of ABC Queensland appears to be

Australian Day Time 11650 Khz 2100 UTC onwards
Australian Night Time 6020 Khz 1000 hours UTC onwards

1149 UTC March 20, 2006
I'm getting a great signal on 6020, with music, weather, updates on
the storm
and an ID saying "ABC Local Radio Queensland".
Is this a relay via Radio Australia?
They still have Radio Australia on their other frequencies, 9590 and
9590, 7240, etc. So they're using one of their transmitters (or one
of the contracted ones at Darwin), but they didn't preempt all of
Radio Aus. for this.

Thanks again!


Transmitters for 11650 and 6020 KHz were at RA Shepparton. Service was
withdrawn at 2000 Hrs UTC today.

Why would anyone who lives in tornado country rely on Ku Band
satellite for weather information?

DirecTV Satellite dish on my roof pointing at a bird way up there in the
Southwestern Sky (or near Earth orbit,whatever it's called) and heavy
thunderstorms obstructing my signal.It doesn't happen often though.

I have other tv sets too that I can use to pick up the local tv
channels.Small tv sets and larger tv sets.I own about eight tv sets of
different sizes,some of them can run on batteries (and car batteries)
too.

As a side note, how do TV stations manage to get mobile phone calls/signals
to people in the storm when it is obvious that the system would be down?

Are they using satellite phones or something???

I think it was Springfield,Illinois a few days ago when a storm knocked
out all of the electric power in that City.Radio was still working
though.

look between 450Mhz-451Mhz for the station's repeater outputs. This is a
nation wide allocation and most TV stations are in here with their mobile
units

What makes you think the system would be down?

Telstra have underground cable to the towers. The other tend to use
microwave.
