The most interesting part of this, which I forgot
to include in my first message, was that it is apparantly the Italian
authorities that have ordered the tx to be shut down, and that the reason for
this was that they emitted an electric field much higher than the permitted
level. Perhaps the RAI 846 isn't the only high-powered tx in Europe with
this problem.

Emne: [HCDX]: RAI 846
I have received information from Rome that RAI
846kHz has been shut down. Apparently, the electric field generated in the
area around the TX site was well above permitted levels and excided
60V/m. I have heard that local legislation permits a maximum
level of 12V/m around inhabited areas. As of now, there is no MW
coverage for RAI channel 1 in much of the country.
Could any of the Italian participants on HCDX
comment on this, whether 846 is still silent or, if on air, anything has
happened to their signal levels?
