AUSTRALIA/PALAU/SINGAPORE/TAIWAN/UAE re odd 15240 kHz outlet of RA:
RA Shepparton on English nx at 2300 UT May 7, S=6 signal on 15240.140 odd
channel, but \\ 15415 kHz from same site was even frequency !? Same odd unit
noted also on May 9th at 2320 UT, on 15240.121 kHz.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 6/7/9)
On A-10 season RA used 15240 kHz TAIWAN 2200-2330 UT English too. So I guess
all these 'oddity' transmissions came from Taiwanese relay sites instead.
Noted RA ball live broadcast May 15 at 0605 UT on odd 15290.145 kHz too,
S=9+20dB in Japan. Scheduled via Tainan-TWN site 0600-0630 UT. Noted an very
exciting penalty situation report. \\ 11945 13630 13690 15160 15415 and
17750 kHz on even frequency.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 15)
A schedule dated April 10 received from Radio Australia lists transmissions
from Shepparton and Brandon only.
15240 kHz is not shown to be used at 2300 UT from either site - this
frequency is on air from 0000-0800 UTC only via SHP at 30 deg. The same
transmitter is shown to be operating on 15230 kHz, with the same bearing, at
2200-0000 UTC.
There is no registration with the HFCC for 15240 kHz at 2300 UT which
suggests that Wolfgang is correct, and that it is indeed via Taiwan. And
similarly for 15290 - not on RA's sched, and not registered with the HFCC.

tens of thousands of pilgrims on this feast day in Fatima, to honour the
tenth anniversary of the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta, two of the
three children to whom Our Lady appeared in the small Portuguese village
almost a century ago. The two shepherd children died when they were still
very young.
But Sr. Lucia Dos Santos, the last of the three to survive, lived in her
convent in Coimbra, Portugal until her death in 2005 at the ripe age of 98.
Pope John Paul II had a special relationship with Sr. Lucy as she is also
known.
Theirs was a friendship that spanned decades,- until the Pope John Paul's
own death in 2005, less than two months after the passing of Sr. Lucy. The
