BC-DX TopNews WWDXC #945 BC-DX 945

SW transmitter. Again I would have to imagine on designated SW broadcast
bands. These changes are expected to occur in around six months time.
I would be interested to know who suggested new antennas at SHP site. This
is news to me, particularly as Radio Australia is a regional broadcaster
and not a global broadcaster and RA doesn't target Africa any more (not
since early 90's).
I think the last RA / forces program service to Africa was to Australian
forces serving in Somalia(?) from the military SW site Exmouth, WA in
2005, unless I am mistaken??? Anyway, maybe others know more.

(John Bernaerts-BEL, SW TXsite Apr 26)
The item on the Wien-Bisamberg transmitter in bc-dx #961, quoting BrDX-UK,
contains some severe mistakes, e.g.:
Bisamberg transmissions came from "Reichssender Wien", not "Reichssender
Linz".
The 1950 mast was provided by the US Allies - a defunct mast from their
Linz-Kronstorf site - but the transmitter was operated, for the "Public
Broadcasting Service" by the Austrian Postal Authorities, a first token of
independence in occupied Austria.
"Neighbour in Need" started with 60 kW but was increased to 120 kW and
even 600 kW.
That the building, which has preservation order on it "serves as a Data
Centre for Internet company Google. With good electrical power
availability, plenty of water for cooling equipment and good flood
protection, Bisamberg was seen as a good place to base a secure server
centre" is absolute nonsense;
the author probably was prey of April Fools' Day.
