[A-DX] AUS temp condition

["Wolfgang Bueschel" <BueschelW@xxxxxx>]

Hier in der Liste wurden auch schon Bemerkungen über die Störanfälligkeit bei den Aussendungen von den Nord Territorien in AUS gemacht. Möglicherweise nunmehr RIZ Zagreb Units betroffen? Vorher wurden Continental USA Einheiten verwendet, die auch unter den sehr extremen Hitze- und Trockenheitsproblemen litten und immer mal ausfielen.

AUSTRALIA Spent the weekend at the Central Coast Field Day, with Nigel Holmes, Radio Australia head of transmission. Re the ABC low power and low frequency outlets in the Northern Territory. The problem is that the heat is usually 45 degrees Celsius; that's over 100 F. It's hot usually for weeks on end. In fact Australia for the most part is in drought and is the driest continent on earth. The newly commissioned transmitters have trouble to standing up to the heat of Australia's outback. The longest on-air trouble-free period is less than a few weeks. So the opportunity of hearing these stations can be rare at times. However, that helps making shortwave radio in our hobby, interesting. Also, there are some planning changes for DRM and other services ahead, so will advise in due course.

Well, the 45-degree temps should have been taken into account in the first place when purchasing the transmitters. OTOH, don't they have cooling systems? Perhaps those only need to be improved.
