commercials of Toyota & Irish Red Cross Society requesting donations for Pakistan floods. 7265 kHz completely blocked by VOIROI Urdu & CRI Sinhalese at 1400 UT. [...] 1504 UTC: 7265 - Blocked by CRI Chinese 11695 - 59+10db 11805 - Not heard (Alokesh Gupta-IND, dxld Sept 5) The reason why Alokesh is hearing RTE Meyerton 15400 kHz so well would seem to be due to the azimuth in use being 19 degrees to East Africa and onwards, while Kununurra is beaming at 340 degrees to East Asia. The 19deg beam is not good for reception in Europe, while 340deg from KNX seems to reach Germany and the UK well. RTE-MEY 15445 kHz is a much better signal from 1430 UT at 330deg to West Africa and peaking to 9+ on the meter. BBC English via Ascension has taken over 15400 kHz from 1500 UT, and only fair at 27deg. RTE-MEY via 11695 kHz at 19deg from 1500 UT is not audible, and there is no trace of 7265 kHz either, so far.

English religious talk, poor S=7 fluttery signal. At 1346 UT noted HCA Kununurra in Mandarin, scheduled 1330-1430 UT, fair S=8 fluttery signal. Very tiny weak signal UNDERNEATH, probably RTE Dublin sports transmission via Meyerton AFS.

This game is uniquely Irish and is generally not known very well outside the Irish community. The game is played with a small leather ball and is hit by wooden sticks called 'hurleys' about the same length as hockey sticks but much different in shape.

This game is also an Irish variation, not related to soccer or rugby, but uses a big ball like a soccer ball. file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX979.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:18]

Best wishes, Sean. - Unquote - (Alokesh Gupta-IND, dxld Sept 6) AUSTRALIA/GUAM The word from Radio Australia. Flooding of homes (at least) in Shepparton, Victoria. Just heard about it on the news. Google Shepparton floods for more, such as So is the R. Australia transmitter site affected? Any transmissions missing? At its own website, the top story is flooding in Pakistan! (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Sept 6) Flooding near Shepparton, any effect on R. Australia? I don't know where the antenna is. (Dan Say-BC-CAN, dxld Sept 7) RA Flooding, Spurring, Jamming Hi Nigel, We are of course wondering whether the RA site is threatened by the Shepparton flooding, or is it on high enough ground? This morning around 1216-1225 UT (Sept 7) I was getting a spur from RA on 9634+ kHz, but could not tell which transmitter it was coming from, 9475, 9560, 9580 or 9590 kHz. Later, one around 9535 kHz and some other spots. Matched the audio to 9580 kHz. Something out of order due to the water? Also, Cuba has started heavy noise and pulse jamming against something on 9965 kHz from 1400 UT. I.e. RA via Palau. I can't tell what else is there, but maybe clandestine Radio Republica. Another thing have rumors that the deal to ship Darwin transmitters to Shep is off. Can you confirm? Regards, (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, to Nigel Holmes of RA, via dxld) Total bollocks (like most good rumours). A Continental 418E and a 418F both third-hand from Christian Voice ex-Cox Peninsula are being installed at Shepparton IHFTS. A new 418G is undergoing acceptance testing in the factory before being shipped to Shepparton. You can quote me. The transmitting station at Shepparton is quite safe at the moment. It was flooded in 1993year, but this time around it's only the flood channels adjacent to the rivers that are filling up. After ten years of drought, we need the water so we're not complaining. Paste these co-ordinates into Google -36.3243 S 145.4235 E and you'll be centred on the Shepparton IHFTS. The Goulburn River is to the west (left) of the station by about 6 km and flows to the north. Zoom out to about 50 km high and you'll see the station relative to the river and the town. I'll have a look at the output of the tx at Shepparton and see if something is amiss. Usually the output is clean with the Harris/Gates senders except when slightly misaligned - then spurs will appear at +/the pulse-duration modulation frequency. This is around 65-75 kHz (depends file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX979.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:18]
