KIX don’t have RDS at present… Well not on any of the sites I have been to, or listened to.

I agree, I know Wollongong and Nowra doesn’t have RDS on KiX Country… and they would be 2 of the largest markets, particularly Wollongong.

Yeah… Looks like I stuffed up on RDS Spy again as the PI matched JOY and I don’t think any other station in victoria has that PI.
Whoops.
There is currently nothing unusual on FM here in Geelong…

Slight tropo lift to Orange stations & Goulburn.
Also Mt. Cenn-Cruaich ABC outlets of 106.3 2PNN & 105.5 2ABCFM coming in.
I was wondering if 105.5 2BS Oberon was operational yet?
Is a 2nd station behind 105.5 ABCFM (probably 2SBSFM Canberra).
Yes, it’s on-air, as I’ve picked it up whilst in Leura back in December 2015.

Also Goulburn 93.5 & 94.3 & slight lift to Taree.
Might be more tropo enhancement to NSW north coast in early am hours tonight.

I am getting Wollongong at enhanced levels, also more Sydney community stations than usual.
Though the major FM stations from Sydney are about the same as usual.
Reception of the Newcastle stations is better than usual here in Sydney tonight, but no Mid North Coast stations or anything like that.

First E’s I’ve received since living in Perth - currently Nova 91.9 and some glimpses of Fresh 92.7 but no sign of any other Adelaide FM’s further down the band. Been waiting 2 summers for this so I hope the heat keeps up for some more opportunities.

Yep, been around since this afternoon. An RDS lock on 101.9 and 103.5 from Maryborough in Gaven (Gold Coast) was the highlight of the drive this afternoon. Got Sea Bundaberg too but failed to decode the RDS

M’bo stations often enter the RDS list when travelling north on the M1 between Exit 69 and 66, Gaven as you say + LOS west to Tamborine good also there for adjacent channel stations to Gold Coast allocations. Would be the same on the western service road where you could pull over to check for reception.

2ZOO 92.7 Dubbo made it into the Sydney region moments ago for 5-10 minutes, then disappeared…

Precisely where I was when I noted this. It’s a spot where Sunshine Coasters are always present, and heading south you can get good reception of Grafton and even Coffs. Gaven hill shields the locals well and just behind it keeps Brisbane weak too
More notably I also managed to get Triple M from the 'borough with an RDS lock in western Brisbane despite the best efforts of the over-deviating blowtorch of 4MBS trying to stop me. This issue is lesser of course down on the Coast where its signal is much weaker
