Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dave Porter (G4OYX), who shares a link to this excellent video tour of the ABC Central West radio transmitter in Cumnock, NSW, Australia.

The ABC seem to do a bit of a story on the Cumnock site every few years – here’s a written article from a couple of years ago: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-19/behind-the-scenes-of-powerful-abc-radio-transmitter-at-cumnock/6866900
It’s also handy for me when testing loop antennas – at ~100kW EIRP and 700km away it’s not too hard to catch but shows a good peak when tuning, and at 549kHz it’s on a clear frequency near the bottom of the band.
Indeed, at night it can easily be heard throughout much of Australia. Thanks also for the extra link, Ron. Most interesting!
