\"Elad-FDM-S2-RadioAustralia-9580\"<\/a>It appears it may have indeed been a transmitter glitch that kept Radio Australia from broadcasting into North America with their typical blowtorch signal on 9,580 kHz yesterday.<\/p>\n

After publishing a post about this yesterday<\/a>, I received quite a few reports confirming that RA could not be heard in North America. I even received a \u00a0report from Mike in New Zealand who couldn’t hear RA on 9,580 kHz with his Yaesu FT-817.<\/p>\n

I did, however, receive two reports from listeners stating that they could hear a very<\/em> faint signal from RA on 9,580 kHz–long after I had tuned off frequency. This might explain the carrier I saw on my spectrum display yesterday<\/a>. Perhaps Shepparton<\/a> turned down the power on 9,580 kHz for maintenance purposes?<\/p>\n

Either way, I’m simply happy to hear my old friend back on 9,580. Since we are officially under the new (reduced) broadcast plan<\/a>, I hope this means that we’ll at least Radio Australia until they change the plan again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
