Urdu Cambodian Lao

Thai Indonesian Turkish Assyrian Tagalog and Vietnamese. But will
anyone hear it?

These are the only private ones that exist now and they are all on
2368.5 . But do not transmit How can the
ACMA put them all on the same frequency?
Wont we need thwe best chance frequencies of our own?

. We are interested in obtaining from the ACMA two shortwave
broadcasting licences
to broadcast 24/7 one to cover sydney and the other
Darwin and if possible some of Timor, Indonesia and PNG
. Our Organisation is Vale Vision and we are
a print handicapped service in many languages
Our website is athttp://www.radio2doublev.org/

We will need to pay technicians or organisations to instal and
maintain the sites
to use a site in sydney and darwin
and the best option up there is AARDS?

The 4 transmitters will be fromhttp://www.transmitter.be/hcj-tb1000.html

Are they good units?

If you have any ideas or can suggest anything that will help we would
be grateful. By way of return we will havea weekly DX Show.

Our Studio is at Canley Vale N

What Frequency?

What Power?

Please cpntact us if you want to help

The 2368.5 kHz Frequency is in the 120 Metre "Tropical Band"
and at 1KW is simply used for Local Region Broadcasting which
can often run 24/7.

Were we in California -USA- may have Noise all over the Band
at that UTC Time they may be in a Quiet Period in Australia.

Plus even on a Noisy Band -if- you are 'close enough'
{in Country} 1 KW will get through.
