For the second time in a week or so, Radio Australia was having
digital fidgits. Between about 12:40 UTC and 15:00 UTC, there were
five second long drop outs, some silent, some starting with a funny
klaxon buzz noise. Since the good audio lasted between two seconds
to only a portion of a minute, it made "interesting listening".

I've noted this in another thread and while we are on the subject of RA
what's up with the transmitter on 12080 KHz? They have distorted audio
at times on that frequency. Tuning to other parallel frequencies reveals
no distortion so it's not the program source.


Up here in Seattle, I havn't received a usable signal on 12080 all winter.

Well, it was hapening again (Mar 27, 15:00 UTC), on 9590, but not on
9475, so it must be a transmitter site problem. I think that's
midnight there, so they must have a bit of trouble getting somebody
out of bed, or out of the pub, to go kick the right equipment rack.

Does anyone have the transmitter sites by time and frequency for RA?

(And I wonder if the Christian Scientists are going to hire the
Russiansto jam RA again this summer, like the last couple of years.
9585 at 12:00 UTC. It'll be kind of tough with them on both 9590
and 9580).
