I tried DXing on my north facing balcony last night with my rabbit ears and furthest north i got was Cairns ABCs.
Also had a scratchy Kool FM Innisfail, and Mackay ABCs, Hit100.3, Star 101.9 and 4TAB 103.5. But not 98.7 MMM for some reason.

Did some AM DXing tonight
@dxnerd will be pleased to know I heard 2CR Orange 549. Also managed to get a few other NSW stations despite being so far up north. Heard SRN AFL coverage on 1080 2MO and 1251 2DU. And had other ABCs on 702 and 738.
Also heard an ABC on 1062ā¦ suspect this might be 4TI Thursday Island as I didnāt hear any VIC or SA stations. First time Iāve heard that one.
Heard a foreign language station on 909, I know not one of ours since we donāt use that frequency in Australia, but no idea what language or where from.
Tried for Japanese FM (a real long shot anyway), but discovered the TEF will only do 65-74 MHz, not 76 MHz up? Nothing from 65-74 anyway.

Something in the settings? Mine does 65-108 MHz.

909kHz could be one of those Chinese āflamethrowerā transmitters. 500kw or something.

Did a bit of AM DX on the TEF tonight
A few highlights include
Newstalk ZB Northland on 1215 (local HPON went off air a month or two ago when it converted to 87.6 FM taking the spot of Visitor Radio)
Newstalk ZB Timaru on 1152 under 2WG
Unknown Station under 2KY on 1017 (Tonga?)
6WF Perth on 720 (able to identify as 6WF could not broadcast the Olympics due to rights issues as Nine owns 6PR on 882)
The Chinese Powerhouse on 909, probably the same one that Radiohead got in Townsville (CNR-6)

Shame about visitor radio, not many of them left.
You can bet 87.6 is well over one watt to replicate the AM 1215 coverage. Solus market and all, ACMA wonāt mind, you can run your AM commercial on your HPON remember.

To give you an idea, these are my notes from one time when I was staying on the 74th floor at the Meriton in Surfersā¦ there were only really a few extra stations that can you canāt get at lower floors

Not sure what 103.1 is. Canāt find anything on the official lists. Could either be a pirate or a harmonic.

I thought it might be the community station at Grafton.

Getting FM104.7 at Surfers is usually not achievable, let alone 2CVC.

Nice scan video @Mechsta 
Thereās even been some recent RDS changes probably since @Radiohead was there last week that Iāve just updated the RDS List with. Iāll make more comments over in the RDS thread in a few moments.
