AM and FM DX

Wangaratta was mentioned a few times as well as Melbourne

Hobart into Renmark is possible given that I had MMM 107.3 strong into Portland VIC, and itā€™s dead flat in between Portland and Renmark. The Southern Ocean duct would extend further inland in winter. I do think it would be nigh on impossible to get 93.9 over the top of local 5PNN, though.

Great radio, workmans radio! BTW do ever get issues with push buttons? For example the ā€œFM Modeā€ acts as the memory button. I have a couple of radios like that. Very annoying. I wonder if it is just ā€œdustā€ messing around.

This has now moved to 100.7. Itā€™s definitely NewsRadio on 93.9 as itā€™s common via E-skip into eastern NSW.

Some good winter inland tropo this morning.

Received in Stanhope Gardens shopping centre car park on Tucson car radio.
All very weak except Abc Classic which is at moderate strength.

Some weak tropo this morning towards Sydney. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if coastal ducting kicks off in August due to the lack of westerlies this winter.

Hope youā€™re right, though August tends to be a pretty windy month usually.

Getting most Canberra FMs here too!
91.1, 91.9, 92.7, 101.5, 102.3, 103.9 and 106.3 all detected.
104.7 and 105.5 probably there but lost under splatter.
98.3 was RN though.
103.9 the best, others a bit scratchy.
Tried for Canberra DAB, nothing there though.

The strongest of the ducting has been from the NW for me. No hint of Canberra on 101.5 and 103.9.

102.3 and 106.3 have been the nationals from the CW Slopes.

The current Hepburn forecast chart has moderate enhancements right across inland NSW.

102.3 Triple J was the strongest for me today too, 106.3 News Radio was probably second strongest followed by 105.5 ABC Classic.
The Mt CennCCruaich signal was quite unstable, it would at times be quite strong but then fade right down to the noise floor.

96.7 ABC Classic from Mt Dowe was the strongest and most stable of the signals today.

Tv. Cynic is Mt CennCCruaich your most southern catch with tropo?

No. Coincidentally now receiving MT CANOBOLAS - Google says 765km
102.7 ABC Classic - over the top of the semi local 4DDB
104.3 RN - the stronger of the 2 signals (there is a RN station in QLD on this frequency but this RN signal is in synch with Mt Dowe rather than QLD RN stations). Quite a clear signal.

Mt Dowe ABCs are stronger than usual tonight.

Armidale is coming in over the top of Wide Bay stations on 101.9 and 103.5

104.3
