Approximate Schedule for relay of ABC Queensland appears to be

Australian Day Time 11650 Khz 2100 UTC onwards
Australian Night Time 6020 Khz 1000 hours UTC onwards


1149 UTC March 20, 2006
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?

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?

Why would anyone who lives in tornado country rely on Ku Band
satellite for weather information?

I have other tv sets too that I can use to pick up the local tv
channels.Small tv sets and larger tv sets.I own about eight tv sets of
different sizes,some of them can run on batteries (and car batteries)
too.

DirecTV Satellite dish on my roof pointing at a bird way up there in the
Southwestern Sky (or near Earth orbit,whatever it's called) and heavy
thunderstorms obstructing my signal.It doesn't happen often though.

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?


mike

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.

Transmitters for 11650 and 6020 KHz were at RA Shepparton. Service was
withdrawn at 2000 Hrs UTC today.
