6.1 Radio Australia (update)
Up-to-date information on frequencies can be found on rec.radio.shortwave,
or ftp from nic.funet.fi/pub/dx/text/schedules/Oceania/australia.prog.txt.
These frequencies are for August 1992:
21740 - 0100 to 0400 GMT 17795 - 0100 to 0400 " 15240 - 0300 to 0500 " 13605 - 1600 to 1800 " 9580 - 0830 to 1500 " 11800 -
On the east coast of the USA, I can Radio Australia on 9580 Hz and
11800 in the morning. In the spring and summer I can get RA on 15240
late at night when they are doing sporting broadcasts. I can also get
15365 during the evening. Radio Australia comes in better in spring
and summer in North America, than in autumn and winter, especially for
the higher frequencies, due to differences in the ionosphere. [AN]
