AUSTRALIA Down Under Special Event Will Use Former Radio Australia Antennas
Over the March 14–15 weekend, members of the Shepparton and District Amateur
Radio Club (SADARC) in Australia will be on the air as VI3RA (Radio Australia)
connecting their transceivers to the curtain array and rhombic antennas at the
former Radio Australia site in Shepparton. Radio Australia ceased transmitting
from the site in 2017. VI3RA will operate on 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15 meters.
"Local amateurs will be given the unique opportunity to explore the use of high
gain antennas whilst giving amateurs throughout the world a unique opportunity
to contact a station using such high-gain antennas", said SADARC President
Peter Rentsch, VK3FPSR. "This is a rare opportunity for amateur radio operators,
who are only allowed a peak output power of 400 W in Australia when compared to
100 kW of Radio Australia transmitters to hopefully achieve some remarkable
communication outcomes. We expect to get a gain of 15 dB on the lower
frequencies and at least 20 dB on 21 MHz". The special event is being
conducted in cooperation with BAI Communications (Broadcast Australia)

From radioinsight.com ..

Ahead of its translator K283CZ 104.5 launching, talk is gone at KUBC 580
Montrose, CO and they are going with classic hits as “KUBC Gold”. The
local morning show remains on KUBC.

Story:
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/184573/kubc-flips-to-classic-hits-ahead-of-translator-launch/

Paul’s note: I hope their audio gets better. Their modulation and audio
quality always seemed a little wimpy. Not horrible but noticeably...
different.
