There is a SpE cloud ~21MHz according to ionosonde graph data over Canberra right now, but nothing heard here, maybe soon? Maybe Qld dxers can try for Tassie?
BTW has anyone determined where in NCL 92.5 France Inter originates? Can’t find it in any lists.
Okay something on 91.1 & 92.7 came up briefly at 0356UT. NSW/Qld dxers might like to try for SthAust.
That 2kw transmitter was able to wipe out reception from Gold FM for about 4 hours today. I wonder what stations New Cal residents could receive today.
These frequencies were received today. I will have to check what the stations were from recordings.
Yes I was about to mention that as I was receiving 90.0 past few minutes too.
UPDATE: 93.9 7ABCFM Tassie in now - transient.
92.4 Coast FM, Invercargill in now. Also Invercargill up to 95.6MHz.
Invercargill crumbs still about at 2.20pm, but watching wet paint dry might be more exciting though…
Very early signs that NZ FM will be stronger or more extensive today.
Have had four brief appearances of More FM Northland on 91.6MHz over past 15 minutes. Weakish & very brief so far.
Update: Sporadic weak reception of 91.6 occurred over a 90+ minute period, but didn’t improve unfortunately. Nothing further to report…
Triple M Sydney seems to have been on the Gore Hill TX for the past few days, 2DAY and both ARN stations still appear to be on the main Artarmon TX.
Wonder why?
I also haven’t seen ARN use their new side mount Artarmon back up array since the KIIS trial a few months ago.
With all the tropo about in recent times, I wonder if getting Albury in a fade down of Sydney might be possible here (unlikely)… more likely if SCA/ARN use Gore Hill or the side mount array.
Triple M had a minor transmitter fault at Artarmon on Thursday morning, so they changed sites, don’t know why they didn’t come back? SCA operations are a little strange at the moment, with various things going on, 2DAY will/should be at Gore Hill tomorrow as well, as there’s transmitter Proof Of Performance testing at SCA Artarmon in the morning.
ARN haven’t needed to use the Alternate Artarmon transmitters, but they will be used on Wednesday as ARN have transmitter Proof Of Performance testing then.
