Key difference: North America is not the TARGET AREA of Oz/NZ broadcasts. They target Asia and the South Pacific. The nature of SW is such that they can be heard in NAm, but the target area is far south of LA. It's been about twenty years since Radio Australia stopped registering frequencies and time periods for North America with the ITU. They decided to concentrate their resources on listeners in the Pacific and Asia where Australia has more influence. I remember when their registration of 9580-Khz for the time period 1100-1300 UTC for North America expired. The next day the VOA started using that frequency in the same time period, which made it impossible to hear RA. The VOA wasn't violating any regulations because the frequency was no longer registered by RA for North America. They changed it to the South Pacific. I talked to someone in the frequency department at the VOA that first morning when the problem started. They weren't aware that RA was still using 9580-Khz because it was no longer shown in the ITU schedule for NA. As it turned out, the VOA moved to 9590 the day after I talked to them, apparently as a gesture of good will to RA. According to ITU regulations at the time, the VOA didn't have to do it. |
