NBC is the host broadcaster of the 15th Pacific Games, being held in the capital Port Moresby. The games begins tomorrow July 4 and runs through till July 18. The following schedule was noted from on-air announcements as follows:<\/p>\n<p>6075 kHz &#8211; 1900 to 2159 UTC<br \/>\n9860 kHz &#8211; 2200 to 0959 UTC<br \/>\n6075 kHz &#8211; 1000 to 1400 UTC<br \/>\n12025 kHz &#8211; 2200 to 1000 UTC (to Pacific Island communities)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many thanks for sharing this news, Rob!<\/p>\n<p>Nigel Holmes also sent an update\u00a0confirming that the transmitter site is Brandon and that the transmitter can run a 20 kW carrier. Nigel notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The aerials are HR 2\/2\/ 6-12 MHz arrays so about -6 dB cf. the arrays at Shepparton.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]The broadcasts have a power of 20 kW AM up from 10 kW when the site carried Radio Australia programming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As of time of posting, I can hear the games here in the eastern US on 6,075 kHz, but the signal is very weak and the propagation window will close soon.
