[Swprograms] RA program about HF School of the Air

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** AUSTRALIA. It was almost like old times with Roger Broadbent presenting
something about shortwave. No, not Feedback, but Australian Express, happened
upon UT Sat July 10 at 0505 on 13630 (not 15240, split away for silly
ballgames), the first story about the last gasp of shortwave for School of the
Air, at a remote station in the Kimberley, Western Australia ? they quit SW
June 30 and went to satellite as has already been done elsewhere. WTFK? Not
mentioned that I heard.

Australian Express is one of the few RA programs without its own website, and
presumably with no on-demand audio. However, I see it is repeated: Sat 1532,
Sun 0305 [hmmm, when Feedback used to be on] and UT Sun 1835. Here`s John
Figliozzi`s preview about it:

AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with 
Roger Broadbent. This week, that most Australian of institutions, the 
School of the Air, has finally said farewell to HF technology and is 
embracing satellite communications for its outback classrooms. The 
'Australian Express' visits the Kimberley region of Western Australia 
to listen-in as students and their teacher mark the end of an era
