Just to support the point made by
Tinstaafl (g'day mate! are ya gettin' cold up there yet?
), day and night ranges are also quoted in PNG. We do it a bit differently tho ... if the night range isn't much different to the day range, we publish the night range as the range by day and night.
BTW
Tinny, when are ya gunna change yer location from
London, UK?
pigboat ... 200,000 watts? Sheeeiitt! Get too close to the transmitter and ya get fried!
A good example of why it's
useful to identify a signal properly before using it, eh!
A few years back, we had a NDB that migrated from place to place but used the same frequency the whole time. We had it published in one location, but when it started to migrate, nobody told us! Had to get a bit nasty about that when I found out.
We have another problem tho and it's getting worse each year. There's a heap of foreign fishing vessels blathering away in (langage withheld to protect the guilty) on the HF comm frequencies used for ATS. It seems to go on all day and there's nothing we can do about it without creating diplomatic incidents with at least two other countries.
