Last night (8th Oct 2025) ABC Maintenance on Newcastle 1233/1458/1512. TXers only went off for roughly 30secs but then resumed for tone testing. Some confusion for me at times so please forgive any errors, mainly due to high splatter from adj stations, c/c signals & natural Newcastle fades. Plus I haven’t had time to examine my captures carefully.
1512khz had tones from UTC1410 to 1425.
1233khz had tones from 1438 to 1442 & 1459 to 1502. 1233 2NC then resumed with wrong network of the BBCWS.
1458 seemed to go to carrier at 1507 ~1524 then tone testing till 1529 then again at 1533 till 1537. TXer seemed to go off air at 1543 for a brief period. Often hard to tell due to its weak signal & heavy splatter from adj 1467khz. At times I could still hear BBCWS prg on 1458 underneath, so not sure who that was. Possible that 2PNN was still on but at reduced power. 1458 resumed normal prg from 1600UTC.
Both 1512 & 1233 had periods of carrier only
This info so you can check your band captures.
