The HARSHEST Radio Broadcasting Site in Australia | Kunanyi / Mount Wellington

Post author By admin
Post date March 26, 2022

Kunanyi / Mount Wellington ("the mountain") is known for it’s wild weather including high winds and extreme snow and ice even during summer months! So why would anyone want to build a radio broadcasting tower on top?

Today I took a trip to give you a tour of the site, including a surprise cameo by some workers who were perched high above the ground doing preventative maintenance.

It’s Hobart’s tallest structure at 130m and is perched 1250m (4101 feet) above sea level. The mountain is also home to a 70cm amateur repeater – VK7RTC.

Post author By admin
Post date March 24, 2022

Amateur Radio Operator numbers worldwide from data 2000 to 2022. This data has been collected from multiple data sources. Some records only go up to 2018, so data to 2022 has been filled in with growth trend data. The last known collection of total hams worldwide was taken by the IARU in 2000. https://web.archive.org/web/20020612083455/http:/www.iaru.org/statsum00.html

– Data on some countries is approx due to lack of current data.

– Data not available for certain countries – total is not indicative of total hams worldwide
