I just received the revised B14 RA schedule (above–click to enlarge) which shows the reduction of broadcasts this year. The Brandon, QLD transmission facility has been closed and Radio Australia has also moth-balled the newest Continental transmitters at Shepparton.
For comparison click here for the current English HF schedule (PDF).
For what it’s worth, I’m still grateful to see that RA will continue their broadcasts on 9,580 kHz–a staple frequency in my part of the world.
The management of ABC was never committed to DRM anyway so the loss of DRM at Brandon and Shepparton is minimal. Hopefully, a broadcaster in need of a digital SW transmitter will buy those DRM transmitters and activate them.
