Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 3-4, 2015 - NBC National Radio 12025 kHz
Hi
I think the correct schedule for 12025 kHz is 2200-1000 UT (0800-2000
PNG time).
It provided a good signal all day yesterday here in New Zealand, though
I was unable
to check the actual sign on/off times.
They just signed on at 21:59 UT this morning, July 4th (Sunday July 5th NZ).

This is the latest sensation, NBC suddenly on new SW frequencies for a special event, with conflicting info. Some think it`s via RA Shepparton; others say via Townsville, Queensland, with 10 or 20 kW. Perhaps the dormant Broadcast Australia 10 kW unit at Brandon has been reactivated for this, which would make sense, as its original purpose and antennas were for RA to cover PNG. Brandon is so small that I don`t find it on the first two atlases I grab, but it is certainly close to major city Townsville, 65 km or 41 miles away. (BTW, if Australia were ever to become a Republic, Queensland would have to be renamed: how about Gillardia? Vic and NSW are also colonial legacies. Perhaps uncontroversial geographical state nomenclature should be extended: Northeast Australia, Southeast Australia.)

My next check at 1212 finds no 12025, while R. Australia [q.v.] is in as usual on 12085 > 12065 with its own SBG coverage. Still no 12025 at 1345 check.
