AM and FM DX

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up on that log. First time heard from Rob’s TEF server, usually Hit Toowoomba past days. Heard with distinctive aboriginal music. Think Hit Toowoomba trying to fight its way through now. I’m surprised at signal strength of 100.7 4US compared to 107.9 Rocky.

It was playing Diesel when I first tuned to it so that’s what fooled me initially, but a long period of dead air after the song confirmed it was a community station :slight_smile: No 4PNN Townsville on 94.3, so Townsville must be west of the duct.

Definitely 4US then. They played a lot of that when i was there in July, some of it was really good too.

Some of the peripheral Central Queensland stations seem to be taking over now with Yeppoon and Gladstone the usual suspects.

Probably Bundaberg… that was a blank carrier when I was up there in July. Been that way for a while I believe?

It was nice to get hit at Dalby yesterday amid all the reception from the north.

Mackay and Rockhampton still coming in at RDS levels this morning.

Tropo lift starting to weaken on the Sunshine Coast.
Beginning of the end of the huge long lasting event on the Qld Coast if to be guided by great Hepburn Maps. Has been great to experience.
4US was in this morning a little earlier (still no ID announced) & caught RDS from NCL 93.0 & 100.0 around 3am this morning, during a brief look.
