Every odd hour now has NSW State News Bulletins at the top of the hour. QLD State News Bulletins are still every even hour as normal. The World has been moved to 11.30am & 5.30pm to fit in the NSW State Bulletins.

All times are AEST as Station X is in Queensland.

While AEDT is observed in the southern states there is the advantage of the news being available earlier compared to us in QLD. This means we can sneak in the NSW bulletin at 7am QLD time. When there is no AEDT the first bulletin will be QLD State News at 8am then NSW at 9am AEST as normal.

It's been a slow process but it needed to be done this way. It's the only way to learn and watch the theory met practice! All matching networks have been made by me and the theory tested or working. It's a nice feeling to know you were right and the theory works.

I'm waiting on a yes or no answer from the owner of the site. I can run an 850 MHZ link from home to the site. That saves a bucket load of cash each month for an internet based solution. From the go ahead to use the site things will be done fairly quickly. The main frequency of 1692 KHZ will be stronger around the northern GC when it gets completed. How much remains to be seen. Don't be fooled even the new site is a test. A similar aerial is currently up in regional NSW but it needs work to stop static build up etc and tripping off due to rain etc.

All going well the site is elevated a little and makes it possible for me to link down south for a southern site too. This has always been the plan as the GC is a big area and one 400 watt service isn't enough to do the job. You'd hear it but it wouldn't be strong enough. You can't get more than 400 watts on these licenses so you get more of them. Strategically placed TWO cover the GC just right!

There has been great results with talks connected to getting the regional licenses back up too.

It's a very exciting time here punters!
