AUSTRALIA I spotted this article in dxld Apr 8, 2010 edition.
"I hear that some of the transmitters decommissioned by CVC at Darwin may
be going on to useful second (third?) lives: two 100 kW could wind up at
Radio Australia, Shepparton, if rather expensive shipping costs of a
megadollar can be covered. RA may also be getting a 300 kW transmitter,
DRM-capable, and some new antennas to serve Africa and SW Asia. Some other
equipment from Cox Peninsula has already been donated to HCJB Kununurra.

Well, yes, two 100 kW SW transmitters from CVC Darwin will replace two 100
kWers at SHP site. I know one higher powered SW transmitter from DRW will
go to another CVC site, so I'd imagine would be either Zambia or Chile.
Yes, SHP is take delivery of a new DRM SW transmitter. It will be
essentially used as a feeder SW transmitter to feed local transmitter
stations in the Asia Pacific region like RNZI does at present with its DRM
