Refuting the latest round of Radio Australia schedules

To all our blog readers......

There is an incredible amount of wrong information floating around, among DXers and various hobby newsletters, about Radio Australia's upcoming schedule changes on February 1, 2015.

Due to all of this conflicting information, I consulted with the Transmission Planning Executive at Radio Australia, to ultimately settle what their new broadcast schedule will be.

Here is his quote:

"The schedule I sent on 20 January with the file name “RAOS B14 v3.3” is correct. The frequencies used 0900-2100 UTC are 9580, 12065 & 12085 kHz"

This is the transcribed schedule

All times UTC

Effective 01 February 2015

All programming targeted to various Pacific regions only
