3RPH: Despite ceasing all programming on 1179kHz, the transmitter has actually been left running with a continuous blank carrier. I phoned 3RPH to enquire about this, but was only told that they were not sure of what they were planning for the transmitter. The ACMA could not give me any further details either.
I am now wondering if 5RPH and 6RPH are also running blank carriers on 1197kHz and 990 kHz respectively.
Only time will tell if 1179kHz is soon to be re-used by another station, as it is all in the air at the moment.

5RPH is evidently off, just now from near Adelaide I was receiving on 1197 khz Brisbane (switch) mixing out with another English language station – possibly newstalk NZ?? They were talking about Rugby but I couldn’t get a positive ID.
