AUSTRALIA Cox/Darwin summary Let's sum up all the bites about the Cox
transmission equipment, provided by various sources, since I fear merely
reproducing them all is prone to result in even more confusion. In order
of installation dates:
3 x Collins 250 kW from 1968: Scrapped. Now Sackville should be the only
site in the world still operating such transmitters. Cf.
2 x Thomson TRE 2326 from 1993: No definite confirmation, but there is
ample evidence of these units being the Thomson 250 kW transmitters just
obtained second hand by TWR for their Guam facility (Broadcast Australia
did not take them, at the same time the model numbers match).
Thomson 300 kW, moved in from Carnarvon in 1996: Scrapped.
2 x Continental 100 kW, moved in by Christian Vision from somewhere else
(also the type numbers 418E and 418F, respectively, did not lead me to a
suspected origin so far): Moved to Shepparton.

I think all the Collins transmitters at Sackville are long gone, replaced
in two phases, 1992-94, and 1999. Thought the first replacements were ABB
units, with the second wave being either ABB or Thales, or perhaps
Thomson; not sure due to murky timeline with corporate mergers and
acquisitions. Don't believe everything you see on transmitter.be or
tdp.info as much of it is either out of date or simply wrong.

The latest gossip from Melbourne was that two of the old transmitters were
