Anyone see an explanation of why Radio Aus. was only sending out
the automated "Waltzing Matilda" all Wednesday (in Seattle) night?
Spot checking from 08:00 UTC on 9580/9590 and later on 9475, 9560, 6020,
5995 until sometime before 16:15, (when they were back on 9710), that
was all I could hear.

Apparently a feed problem, and has been happening as of late:

They must be changing something around because there's been some
strange stuff. They've been running the BBC occasionally on 15515 at,
as I remember, 22:00. And one Saturday, at 23:00 on 17795, they had the
BBC ID before the hour in the few minutes after the transmission began,
and then switched to R. Aus. after the time ticks.

It would be nice if they got a hour or two of the Beeb in the
Pacific. R. Aus seems to have enough signals out there at that
hour anyway.

They rebroadcast their domestic network programming for a good part of
the day and that's what I like to listen to the call in programs so hear
the average Australian.

Occasionally they loose their feed to it.
