I still think China's CRI should start an Australian Outback service and use those frequencies. Complete with weather, emergency alerts -- all of it.

They've got the transmitters, the reach, and some slick broadcasts in English.

An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
