Re: [IRCA] ABC 6NM 1215khz Northam, Western Australia

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Its not Kix Country, that Grant Broadcasters network runs no long form
spech programming. I've confirmed that.

Where is the RealDX group?

A radio friend and I are theorizing it's 4HI's 1215 relay running a live
overnight networked talk program or a replay of an old sports show.

250 watts from Queensland, still not bad.
