Just out of interest, what FM tuner software is TV Cynic using in those caps?

FDM-SW2 - it is provided with an Elad tuner. I havenât had it for very long so not using it to full potential.

Hi TV.Cynic. I do know from listening to Flow FM in recent times that they do announce every 20-25minutes or so one of their numerous frequencies & corresponding locations/service areas. So you just happened to have heard the announcement for Ceduna 106.1 FM whilst listening to 99.3FM.
BTW I was looking at the noise floor (eg -115dBm at 91.3MHz) on your FDM-SW2 spectrum display; are you using a dedicated FM antenna or something more broadband or TV antenna?
Nice signal captures & beautiful display BTW.
Yes - the noise floor from that FM antenna set up is high (and always annoys me) as it is paired with a UHF antenna for Gold Coast TV. I last week changed amps to try to reduce it but the noise floor remained the same but reception overall is better. I have a second NW facing FM antenna on its own with a lower noise floor.
Hobart and Devonport received then later Batemans Bay / Bega / Cooma including Power FM 103.5 with partial RDS.

I think you meant 102.5, as 103.5 is ABC South East from Batemans Bay, which Iâm sure youâve received as well.
Oops, Yes it was 102.5 Po FM 
Yes 2BA on 103.5 was received.
Strong Melbourne signals into Queensland at the moment.

Anyone know of a Station with the PI as 1B2A running on 90.1?
KIX Country coming in on 89.3 From Geelong as well as ABC Central Victoria and JJJ Bendigo coming in quite good.

On holidays at Port Stephens, enhancnents from Sydney and Wollongong coming into Salamander Bay.
At 5pm Smooth and Nova were both seeking on car stereo. i98 over Power Fm which is permanent reception at this location.
Central Coast Fm slightly enhanced which is also permanent reception at this location.
With ducting from the Illawarra occurring at this location I can see how the input signal for digital tv from Mt Sugaloaf, and rebroadcasted from Gan Gan Hill was affected in the past.

Will be doing some DXing shortly, but yes, the Illawarra ducting has caused me to lose the local Mt Sugarloaf TV again, so watching Central Coast UHF at the moment on the rabbit ears, as Sydney TV is also a bit unstable here right now (usually pretty good).

Here is my current viewâŚ
Kix is a first but note the whole bunch of noise on the TCP feed (Network) thatâs caused by a Networking switch nearby

My âviewâ is very unsophisticated âŚ
As I live in an apartment, external Yagis are kind of out of the question.
However, I rely on elevation at 140M ASL, being on a hill and 6 floors up with an excellent line of sight to the south in particular.
The above shot is my current reading of Triple M Sydney, which is pretty typical reception being 105km LOS to Artarmon⌠At 41db signal strength and 37db SNR.

List of New Caledonia stations I noted this morning (names based on previous logs/internet lists)
| 17/01/2018 | |
|---|---|
| 89.0 | Nouvelle-CalÊdonie 1ère |
| 90.0 | Nouvelle-CalÊdonie 1ère |
| 91.5 | Radio Outre-mer 1ère |
| 93.0 | France Inter |
| 93.5 | NRJ |
| 95.0 | Radio OcĂŠane FM |
| 96.0 | Radio Djiido |
| 100.0 | Radio Rythme Bleu |
| 100.4 | Radio Rythme Bleu |
| 102.0 | Radio Djiido |
There are several other stations possible, but these proved impossible with the local stations in Brisbane. As it was a couple of the above were a challenge e.g.102.0 that is between 4ZZZ on 102.1 and hit101.9.
RDS for 1ERE and Inter; 1ERE has scrolling name field.

Ok, better than average reception here tonight, though there was some instability with Sydney high power stations.
I did log the following which are not uncommon at this time of year.

101.5 Triple J Canberra (in a null of 2GLA Forster)

Typo corrected.
âŚand tropo expected to become quite intense on the NSW coast over the next few days (during tropo hours) according to the Hepburn tropo maps. Ionogram still showing SpE cloud over Sydney & Brisbane-unusual for this time in evening, but not uncommon.
Receiving ABCâs from Taree, 2BA + 2ABCFM Batemans Bay & 103.7 SkySports Radio Nowra.
A little later also 100.9 SkySports Radio - Bathurst

Iâm currently getting hit102.3 & 92.7 Sky Sports Radio from Port Macquarie, as well as 97.9 ABC Classic FM from Coffs Harbour (couldnât get others from there such as 91.5 JJJ & 92.3 ABC Coffs Coast) quite well. Iâm also getting a faint 93.5 2PM Port Macquarie translator service underneath an equally faint Eagle FM Goulburn, along with 2WAY 103.9 (with ABC Newsradio from Canberra cutting in), as well as hit105.1 & 106.7 Triple M from Kempsey.
I couldnât get 100.7 Triple M from Port Macquarie due to WOW Penrith.
