 CNN.com - Australia revives radio signal to Asia - May 14, 2001
Radio Australia, which broadcasts in English and the Bahasa Indonesia language, has not been easily heard in Asia for several years after the federal government sold off its transmitters as a cost-cutting measure.

Radio Australia says its news service will offer an extra seven hours of news and information programing each day in English and Indonesian to the region.

 Peter Gallagher's Radio Weblog
The decision on whether a quarantine restriction is warranted by the risk that an animal or plant disease or pest might be imported -- and the sort of measure that is warranted -- is guided by a concept that the WTO calls the "appropriate level of protection" (ALOP).
Yet there is evidence that the costs of some barriers for the economy as a whole may significantly outweigh the benefits to a particular industry.
Inquit's 'white paper' on the Appropriate Level of Protection, which examines these issues, was produced on behalf of some of Australia's largest dairy manufacturers and exporters.

The ABA believes this is the wise course in relation to digital radio, where the Government is yet to develop policies regarding introduction of digital radio and where even basic choices regarding the technical standard to be adopted remain to be made.
The ABA's recent decision to permit Broadcast Australia, which is not an incumbent radio broadcaster, to conduct digital radio trials has provoked strong unease within the commercial radio industry.
Given these facts, the repeated public claims by Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) to have been 'frozen out' of digital radio trials in Melbourne are of concern.

Amateur radio is one of my interests on those increasingly rare occasions that I have some spare time.
You should be able to find the frequency band code somewhere on the type label on any Pye/Philips PMR radio, which is the key to figuring out your chances of stretching it to cover the amateur frequency band you are interested in.
In many cases it is reasonably easy to pull the frequency down on "A" and "U" band radios to cover 2m or 70cm, by adding a small amount of additional capacitance to the tuned circuits.
