From my Sydney CBD east facing hotel room, on the TEF with rabbit ears, this afternoon heard

Port Stephens 95.1, 95.9, 97.5 and 98.3. Only 97.5 had a reasonable signal, in stereo, the others were very weak.

Middle Brother ABCs on 95.5, 97.1 and 98.7, which seemed to have the best signal and in reasonable stereo.

Had faint Orange ABCs on 101.9, 102.7 and 104.3 despite being on the east side of the hotel.

No commercials from Newcastle or Port Macquarie though.

Some Artarmon and Gore Hill stations are hard to get cleanly here though. That was no surprise.

What other NCL frequencies are in?
90.0, 92.5 & 100.0 are from Mont Do, as is 96.0MHz
Is Djiido 96.0 there? (88.0 would be blocked)

90.0 (La 1ère) and 95.0 (a weak Océane FM) were in from Dumbéa/Mont Koghis on the Sunshine Coast server a bit ago.

Interesting to be able to see. France Inter seems to have its dynamic RT intact, just like the transmitters in European France (probably delivered to the transmitter sites via sat in the same way).

Perhaps if the New Caledonia reception is moving northward with the duct over the next 2 hours try for another very high site with reasonable power: Mont Aoupinié outlets; 101.0, 97.0, 93.0 & 89.0MHz.
I note Mont Do reception weakening.

You guys in SEQ are very lucky tonight.
The Sunshine Coast TEF server is currently receiving RRB on 100.0, 92.5 is a mix of France Inter and MMM Gold as well as a weak Triple M Mackay noted.

Excellent that the node is getting the NCL tropo, though it looked to be a barnstorming opening. I need to check this thread more.

No tropo here for the next week due to constant gale force westerlies.

100.0 NCL is still there, as is 98.7 Mackay on the remote TEF.
ABC Cairns 105.9 & 107.5 was there a little earlier too.
Noted Gladstone 95.1 weakly & RDS from 89.1 Kingaroy

Guess RRB now knows about the Australians listening to their station via tropo on the remote server as they are currently playing You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC.

A very full band this morning - Wide Bay stations are stronger than Brisbane ones. Currently monitoring low signal on 102.3.

Some more New Cal coming in now - this time 90.0 and 94.0 stand out in Brisbane but challenging for other frequencies due to intense troppo from central QLD.

Thanks for the heads up! Yes from same site receiving 102.0 Radio Djiido from Rob’s TEF server, but no other station from that site. Difficult reception. Awesome!

Update: 95.0 Oceane FM & 90.0 1ere are there now from same location.

Finally logged into the node: 100.0 still in. There is another listener so not tuning.
