R. Australia problems

[Ron - Calif.]

AUSTRALIA. RA on Dec 17, found 9580 silent 1422 UTC +
1448, when also unable to hear 12065 nor 12085, but at
1616 did hear 12065 (very faint) // 12085 (fair), with ABC
program of pop songs; program ID "This is Double J";
9580 still off the air. 4835 ABC Alice Springs NT well
heard at 1422 with xmas songs.

RA still with one transmitter off on Dec 18; noted 17840
was off the air; 15240 // 15415, at 0300, with poor reception,
but by 0422 was readable; no RA IDs, only "ABC Local
Radio" and many promos for "ABC news" & "ABC Grand-
stand"; 0513 interview with someone from "Double J."

So both 9580 & 17840 are silent, which normally would
be their strongest frequencies.

No reception of RA here ay 1020z 0n Dec. 18, although RNZI is very strong.   RA is always a stonger reception here than RNZI.

No 9580 here during the CST morning of Sat Dec 17th.

9580 has been a very strong signal here for decades (except for when the sun is up to no good).

Copied RA on 17840 on the afternoon of Sunday the 18th at 2300z. But I had not heard it on any frequency since Thursday morning.
