Yes! And happy to report @RFBurns et al. that they’ve got their RDS RT back working correctly with the RT A/B field/flag message alternating to keep all FM tuners displaying the RT properly.

Anyone noticed any issue with the 2SER 107.3 Sydney signal lately?
For me here in Newcastle, it used to be a pretty even battle for supremacy with MAX FM Taree … But MAX is all i can seem to get on 107.3 the last 5-7 days.

Still okay here. Still 0% BER on the RDS.
I did hear 2SER off air briefly one morning not too long ago.

The rain event (Rain Bomb) is creating some local Tropo enhancements this afternoon on my DX setup.
2ST very strong, just below RDS levels. A couple of months ago this enhancement would have had 2ST just above the noise floor.
C91.3 full RDS decode, normally below RDS strength. Sydney SW TV translators signal and quality enhanced.
Rhema CC causing quite significant CCI to Power FM.
92.5 ABC CC well above the noise floor.
Wollongong TV at Sydney TV strength, Wollongong ABC TV 35 being received with better quality and CN than Sydney VHF12.

Managed to do some DXing on the Brisbane to Perth flight yesterday with the permission of the cabin crew. Having a business class window seat also helped, lol.
Here is what was noted.
95.1 Hit Roma just SW of Stanthorpe. No local ads, just a straight relay of Toowoomba
Hit 106.9 north of Dubbo
2MG FM 97.1 North of Dubbo
2BS NW of Dubbo
Triple M Bendigo east of Ivanhoe
Roccy FM in same position. Stereo pilot but only in mono
Triple M Shepparton same position
Triple M Mildura same position
5RM same position
88.7 8SAT Urana South of Ivanhoe
91.5 Smooth Melbourne SW of Ivanhoe
96.5 Hill FM fighting with 96.5 Griffith SW of Ivanhoe
Adelaide commercial FM NE of Mildura
Hill FM Broken Hill over Mildura
Triple M Bendigo until. just north of Murray Bridge

Noice!
Enjoy Perth.
Sounds like they get the same feed as Dalby/Stanthorpe/Warwick 4RGD, which is same as Toowoomba except with “South QLD’s Hit” sweeper instead “Toowoomba’s Hit 100.7”.
Though I guess they must have their own news and/or weather inserts to meet the 30 mins per day of local content.

Have ABC Mount Goonanman coming into Toowoomba on 100.1 aswell 99.1 Mount Dowe coming over Triple M Country Toowoomba
Was not aware of the ducting till my other halfs Mum text me and went “whats with some sort of ABC program coming over the top of Triple M Country” had a bit of a giggle and went out to the car and grabbed my TEF and investigated

In Brisbane the opening is enough to just lift Breeze Childers to RDS level.

Not sure if the new Perth (work in progress) stream is someone on this forum, but if you need some guidance, feel free to shout out here.

Most likely 2ABCFM Grafton/Kempsey (Mt Moombil). Did get that by tropo from time to time in my area prior to 2ABCRN Goulburn existing.

Yeah just got coffs coast ABC on 92.3 as well. And a very faint hit 105.5. Not bad from the couch. With the whip that came with the TEF

Bit of ducting tonight, hearing Sunny Coast and Kingaroy coming into Toowoomba
Matter of fact ABC Classic Black Mountain is coming over the top of 4TAB on 93.7 in Toowoomba
Despite my height Sunny Coast is not a everyday copy to where I live, and Kingaroy Hit isn’t copyable till I head up the Bunya Mountains

Wide Bay is quite strong in Brisbane with ABCs from Rockhampton also coming in.

Down in Albury on my road trip to Tassie.
Not really DX season, but a couple of good catches on the TEF
At Goulburn (War Memorial Lookout) had Hit99.7 Griffith with RDS.
At South Gundagai Lookout, had weak 92.9 Classic Sydney, and Edge FM 102.5 Deniliquin with RDS.
Neither location really a good DX spot with too much wash from nearby TX sites, both of which are particularly bad for spurs/mixing. Even the TEF struggled with it.
