> The ABA is about to release it's draft LAP for Sydney (analog). In it they
> will be calling for submissions from interested parties about :
> 1. Higher power for the AM commercial stations (from 5Kw to 10Kw).
> 2. Day night switching.
> Also the commercial stations are expected to advise the ABA for special
> testing requirements to run 10Kw in anticipation of the higher power
> outcome.
> Sydney is the next cab of the rank for the planning process then
Melbourne.
> Most of the ABA's resources are being channeled into digital though
(mainly
> digital TV). The minister for communications has announced that there is a
> sunset clause for analog broadcasting which is to be 2021. The way things
> are moving in the broadcasting technology business there may very well be
> no analog receivers around by 2021 though.
>
> It is understood that a number of Sydney's AM'ers are already running 10Kw
> at this time.
