Altitude of the receiver. The higher the path, the more signal in some cases.

91.5 Triple J Coffs / Grafton
94.7 Triple J
All Canberra Community stations 2XX the best

96.7 ABC Classic Fm Mt Dowe
100.1 Triple J Bega / Cooma over Hornsby community radio
All Canberra nationals however communities coming in better.
All received thanks to Tropo on Tucson car radio.

Nice.
I guess 94.7 Triple J must have been Tamworth.
From 6pm had 105.5 Canberra & Western Plains. Also 106.3 Western Plains.
92.3 2MCE Bathurst in atm.
Yes 94.7 Triple J was Tamworth.
Unfortunately, I wasnât at home earlier tonight, but in the car on the way home I had ABC stations from Armidale, CW Slopes, Orange and Canberra. I didnât check for Coffs Harbour, but I did hear some HIT on 105.1 from Kempsey, so it most likely would have been received too.

A rare catch for me tonight.
Triple J 90.7 and News Radio 91.5 from the SW Slopes, other frequencies blocked by strong reception from the Sydney suburban community stations.

Good. Had the three ABC Taree stations in late last night.

Only three?
I know 94.7 News Radio has a lower power than the others, but 95.5, 96.3, 97.1 and 98.7 all travel pretty well.
I"m assuming 96.3 was blocked by Coast FM Gosford?
Yes only 3. 94.7 not heard as is lower powered & as you rightly guessed 96.3 blocked by Coast FM.
I think all heard around 10pm. Was also a very slight lift to Canberra this morning but only logged 105.5, 103.9 & 102.3. All a bit ho-hum until the next major tropo lift.

Yes, we are starting to run out of opportunities until next summer now.
I should have also added that Wollongong was very strong for me last night, i98 was coming through with no hint of ABC News Radio underneath.

Iâve asked before, but forgot. If youâre in New Caledonia, what AM signals from Australia do they receive at night?
Rough guess would be 774 ABC Melbourne and maybe some powerhouses such as 2GB 873 and maybe 2UE.
That said, 2AY would be impossible to receive due to co channelling from the island.

Re 2AY co-channel. I thought all MW had ceased from New Caledonia?
Thus an ideal location to MW dx from if quiet QTH found.
