When checked SHP RA at 2110 UT tonight,
noted no distortion on 15240 and 15415 kHz,
but at this Australian local morning, 16 mb 17840 kHz couldn't traced as
RA signal on remote SDR's yet,
latter skips away on nearby short skip distance.
At 70 degrees angle, even no sidelobe signal in Vancouver or Alberta
traced. wb

at check on 2252 UT, the 9580 kHz RA SHP outlet is on xecellent fine
audio quality now, so the faulty TX unit has been exchanged in past 2
hours ... S=9+5dB signal on remote unit in Queensland, no distortion
anymore.

at 1830 UT both \\s 12065 and 12085 kHz working well,
probably the 9580 kHz unit has a technical problem, like a wrong final
stage tube or something else.
Keep cool, soon the daytime shift personell at Shepparton will look at
that failure.
Never heard such a TX failure before, when listened to Shepparton
in past 44 years by Y.T.
I guess a frequency manager at capital bureau
is never looking at technical TX failures ?
They have 7 TXs at SHP at their disposal so far, to select another one ?
wb
ps. lets look soon at 21 UT to the daytime SHP unit outlets.

Ever since Nigel Holmes left and RA has been steadily de-emphasized as a
service, things appear to be going to hell in a handbasket. At least
thatâs how I see it as a longtime listener going back to the â60s. Another
one of the greats being systematically dismembered.

This morning Australia's 9580khz transmitter is showing signs of age.
The distortion is worse than that of R. Nacionale de Brasilia on 11870khz!
Check it right now.
