Re: [IRCA] Australian AM station #1 Confirmed!



Congratulations Paul. Did you tell him how cold it was? (though not sure someone in Mackay would understand the meaning of cold)

I've heard quite a few Australian AM's in the last 2 weeks but have only
written to a few seeking confirmation of what I heard.

At 1829UTC Saturday November 26th (4:29AM in Queensland on November 27th) I
heard a station on 1026khz playing Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"

Here's the audio:

Grant Broadcasts Mackay Content Director confirmed what I heard was 4MK
1026 Mackay by saying, "spot on - that was 4MK. Our pattern doesn't shoot
your way. Our broadcast pattern has strong spurs from Mackay NNW / SSE, and
less powerful E/NE / WSW ... basically a + symbol leaned to the left a
little."

Just a few minutes late at 1832UTC, I heard a station on 990khz playing
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" by The Looking Glass.

I have not heard back yet, but I strongly suspect this is 4RO Rockhampton,
QLD. A sister station to 4MK and running a classic hits/oldies format.
