  • Dxpedition Report from Rose Spit, Haida Gwaii
    Rose Spit mini-DXpedition 11 July, 2011. Rose Spit loggings for 11 July, 2011: Medium Wave and Long Wave Here is a compilation of what I heard on an overnight DC only DXpedition to Rose Spit, about 25 km from the closest power lines, on the north east corner of Haida Gwaii. This spit is sandy, and covered in short grasses and strawberry plants, so ideal for remote DXpeditions, as it is accessible by 4x4 wheel drive vehicles. Conditions were not very good with the A index around 13, and K indices between 2 and 4, and solar flux at 90.6. The loggings below on MW are almost all from using a 750’ BOG aimed at New Zealand, unterminated. Here’s an aerial photo of the Spit. I was located just a few hundred meters past the tree line, in about the center of the spit, which faces N/NE. The larger photo below shows Rose Spit looking back to the West/South West to the treeline. Lot’s of room for BOGs! The figure below shows a view in the opposite direction down the spit to the N/NW where the 750’ BOGs were located. The NZ wire could have easily been double the distance. A more likely scenario for next time might be a phased BOG array towards NZ or dual Wellbrook delta loops. My wonderful DXpedition vehicle: A Nissan Frontier, 4 door, 4x4. Very comfortable, with a folding down front passenger seat, making a perfect platform for the radios and computer. Also a comfortable rear seat to sleep.

    MEDIA RELEASE 2 September 2014 Canberra & Darwin digital radio trials extended Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) welcomed the decision by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to extend the DAB+ digital radio trial licences in Canberra and Darwin until 30 June 2015. The scientific licences have been extended to provide an opportunity for broadcasters to experiment with new features and functionality on DAB+, as well as continue testing a range of planning techniques and equipment types. Commercial Radio Australia chief executive officer Joan Warner said: “Both trials have provided valuable insights into coverage planning that will help ensure regional rollout of DAB+ provides cost effective reception. In addition, CRA has been testing transmission of emergency information across DAB+, fully utilising the slide show and scrolling text features of DAB+.” Commercial Radio Australia is the trial licensee (on behalf of the ABC, SBS in Canberra) and the Canberra trial funding is shared by commercial and public broadcasters. The Darwin trial is fully funded by the local commercial station. Commercial radio stations 2CA, 2CC, Mix 106.3, 104.7, My Canberra, Hot Country, Canberra 100 and Buddha, plus multicultural and multilingual stations SBS Radio 1 and SBS Radio 2, SBS Pop Asia and SBS Chill continue to broadcast on the low power DAB+ trial. ABC joined the trial in 2011 and stations 666 ABC Canberra, ABC Jazz, Radio National, Double J and ABC Grandstand, are together with the commercial stations in adding to the choice of services available to Canberra audiences. Hot 100 and Mix 104.9 and digital only services, Top Country Digital, Classic Rock and Radio TAB will continue DAB+ trial services in Darwin.

INTRODUCTION Media organisations have been pivotal in driving the shift towards personalised news and information experiences for mobile. It is now possible for news stories and articles to be surfaced and recommended to individuals based on their stated preferences, previous activity or reading history. Google Now and Zite are high profile examples of these types of services. In this landscape of the personalised experience, it’s common for location to be a key content discovery and organising principle. People can see what’s happening close to their GPS location, explore the news around them via a map, or filter content according to proximity to a certain place. These approaches are already proving their usefulness, yet they are still relatively new and there are gaps in our collective knowledge about what rates as location-relevant content, and how it might be surfaced for a particular user at a particular time.
