["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it was an interesting morning.  My usual dependable JOLF 1242 was
nowhere to be seen, not a peep which is a far cry from it's usual local
like signal here nearly every single time I tune in.

(Apparently, according to the esteemed Australian broadcast engineer I was
chatting to, I'm on the backside of their signal. Wow! Anyone have a
coverage map for them or a pattern plot?)


This is a somewhat clear 4MK 1026, Mackay, QLD halfway through a station
liner and into a song. Recorded at 1848UTC/9:48AM Sunday December 18th,

they are speaking.  Recorded between 1900 and 1925UTC (9am and 925am
