Change to: Recommence and maintain 3. Change to: high frequency 4. Change to: remote areas of Australia up to the territorial limit (up to 370 km from shoreline) 5. Change to: areas which have no other reliable source terrestrial of ABC Local Radio programs 6. Change to: high frequency 7. Delete: 8. Change the paragraph to: Broadcast the ABC Darwin Local Radio program with appropriate news inserts from all those local radio studios in the coverage area excluding Darwin. This includes the Kimberley, Pilbara, Goldfields WA, Northern SA, Broken Hill, Longreach and Mt Isa. Insert (c) On all station and streaming promotions of local radio and websites are to include the DRM high frequency service on all NT Local radio programs as well as local radio programs from the Kununurra, Broome, Karratha, Kalgoorlie, Port Pirie, Broken Hill, Mt Isa and Longreach. (d) Include in www.abc.net.au/reception ‘s frequency finder all postcodes for the outback areas covered by the high frequency transmissions. Add to the Coverage area estimator the coverage area map of the high frequency transmitters. (e) Broadcasts must be in Digital Radio Mondiale format using the stereo sound from the Darwin studios and accompanied by the text and pictures from their website. (f) Transmit the Alternate Frequency Table on the DRM transmissions as well as Darwin ABC FM local radio and any ABC DAB+ Darwin transmissions. The table must contain the current transmission frequency which will change between day/night and seasonally. (g) Provide the Emergency Warning System capability, which will automatically source the information from the Emergency Services and include the GPS coordinates of the boundaries of the emergency area. (h) Delay the Darwin FM and possibly DAB+ , ABC Local radio program signal so that DRM , DAB+ and FM signals are all received at the same time to allow seamless automatic switching between the radio sources without the loss or duplication of program. (i) provide road conditions for flood and fire on the traffic information channel which is used in automotive receivers and can connect to satellite navigation system (GPS). 9. Change to: Recommence and maintain 10. Replace with; Recommence and maintain the Radio Australia’ s high frequency broadcast service. 11. Change to: all of the International Telecommunications Union Region 3 countries 12. Insert after then number 3: DRM transmitters carrying either; the target country’s language and English language speech programs or stereo programs containing music, Images and multilingual text along with the Multi-lingual Emergency Warning System Alternate frequency table. 13. Replace with: Radio Australia 14. Add the following: to “internet stream and satellite broadcast.” Add (3) The ABC must initiate an upgrade to the Australian Standard 4943-2009 Digital radio— Terrestrial broadcasting to include Part 2 DRM30 and DRM+ making all optional characteristics including those in DAB+ compulsory, although all but vehicle receivers will not be required to decode traffic information. All radios must receive DAB+ and DRM as specified in this standard. It is to push for it to be made compulsory on importers of radios, vehicles and vessels. This standard should be used by importers to specify to manufacturers what their products are required to do when imported in to Australia. These specifications use international standards which are worldwide with the exception of North America. The optional characteristics should be made compulsory to ensure that the Emergency Warning System can show text and maps on both DAB+ and DRM. So every receiver needs to have at least a mobile phone style screen. http://www.drm.org/wp- content/uploads/2015/02/Minimum-Receiver-Requirements_v2-2015.pdf indicates the requirements for DRM receivers, which need DRM+ added. DRM+ is ideal for regional areas. A GPS receiver is in every mobile phone and are now cheap. It should be included in DAB+ and DRM radios so that emergency messages outside the affected area can be ignored. Please note: There is a huge similarity between DAB+ and DRM receivers the main difference is in the frequency range of the tuning and the signal bandwidth. Now that Software Designed Receivers are the new type of radio the differences are easy to implement. For all high frequency transmission, the transmission frequency selection should selected with the monthly advice of the Space Weather Services section of Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Communications and Media Authority the ITU’s High Frequency Coordinating Committee and the ABC’s transmission contractor. The ABC will negotiate with the HFCC for DRM channel bandwidth of 20 kHz ABC and Radio Australia. In concert with the Space Weather Service and HF propagation software prior to each season, determine the coverage area of all high frequency transmissions and publish them on the ABC Reception coverage estimator for domestic and on http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/waystolisten The ABC reception and Radio Australia websites mentioned above should also contain a link to www.drm.org and the latest SAI Global’s Australian Standard 4943 for more information on DRM radio. The ABC/Radio Australia is to connect the Emergency Warning System of their DRM and DAB+ digital radio systems to produce automated warnings. The connection will be to Bureau of Meteorology’s Tsunami warning network, Geoscience Australia for seismic activity and all the State Emergency services for bushfire, cyclone and flood warnings. https://shop.abc.net.au/t/formats/electronics must stock DRM/DAB+ radios and the ABC reception and Radio Australia websites should contain a link to those radios. A. Hughes submission to Amendments to the ABC Act 1983 Explanations Line 8: “Short wave”, change to “High Frequency (Short Wave)” All other communications in the 3 – 30 MHz range have been internationally called “high frequency” The International Telecommunications Union which is part of the United Nations, has removed the references to wavelengths of radio transmissions a long time ago. We do not talk of a radio station in metres, but in frequency. Similarly the wavelength bands were renamed as frequency bands. As a result short wave became high frequency. This has been the terminology used for long distance two way radios for a long time including two way radios made by Australian manufacturers Barratt Communications and Codan along with GME who makes marine and 4WD radios. Line 10: “The corporation must maintain”, change to “Recommence and maintain” The transmissions need to recommenced before they can be maintained. Line 11: “Northern Territory”, change to “remote areas of Australia up to the territorial limit (up to 370 km from shoreline)” All Australians have an equal right to digital radio regardless of where they are including being on a boat in our territorial waters. Particularly for emergency warnings, which can be continuous without disturbing others outside the affected areas. Warnings need not necessarily be weather related as the ABC implies. What about bushfires, earthquakes and tsunamis? Line 12: “cover the same areas of the Northern Territory”, change to “areas which have no other reliable source
