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?

I believe it's via Radio Australia transmitters. Not confirmed though.

6020 is regularly used by Radio Australia as is 11650.

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.

How can your TV go out for ten minutes a few minutes ago?

Mobile network coverage during storms?
 
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.

What makes you think the system would be down?

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

Could they use the audio of a satellite video up/down link on their remote
broadcast trucks?
Land-line and cell phone systems have back-up power generators and large
banks of batteries.
Calls are automatically rerouted around nodes that are out of service.

Yes, but just HOW does a tv set shut off for ten minutes a few minutes
ago? Is there a warp in the fabric of the space/time continuum?

Heavy cloud cover obstructs/blocks the satellite signal.No signal,no
audio and no video (except for a blue band across the bottom of the tv
screen that says Searching For Signal,or something like that) either,so
the tv screen goes dark and quiet.Sometimes though,the heavy cloud cover
isn't qute heavy enough to completly obstruct/block the satellite signal
and there are big stop action pixels on the tv screen and the
video/images on screen look as though they are frozen in place untill
the satellite dish antenna can pick up a better signal and the audio
sounds like it is breaking up,sort of like somebody loseing their cell
phone signal.

I believe that a 'few minutes' is two, three, even four minutes. After
that, we use numbers. My wondering was, just how can a tv set be off
for ten minutes when it only turned OFF a few minutes ago. You knew how
long the set was off when it came back to life. How can it be off longer
than the distance back in time when it went out?

I can understand a set turning off ten minutes ago for a few minutes,
but NOT the other way around.

In case anyone wonders, I AM considering getting a life.
