  Subject: [HCDX]: RAI 846
  
  I have received information from Rome that RAI 
  846kHz has been shut down.
Apparently, the electric field generated in the 
  area around the TX site was
well above permitted levels and excided 
  60V/m.  I have heard that local
legislation permits a maximum  
  level of 12V/m around inhabited areas.  As of
now, there is no MW 
  coverage for RAI channel 1 in much of the country.
   
  Could any of the Italian participants on HCDX 
  comment on this, whether 846 is still silent or, if on air, anything has 
  happened to their signal levels?
