SV: [HCDX]: RAI 846



 
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?
