These broadcasts on 11550 are actually relayed via transmitters in Taiwan.
Both Radio Australia and RDP are buying time over these transmitters to get a
better signal into East Timor and Indonesia than would otherwise be possible.

Radio Australia will QSL their broadcasts via this relay if you want to send
a report to the usual address.
