Noice catches there!
That’d be the main Emerald one.. (Clermont is 4HI 102.1 and 4HIT 102.9).
Had Townsville, Ayr, Emerald and Mackay near Shellharbour aka Albion Park Rail
Assumed Rockhampton with Ads on 101.5 received between Shellharbour and Kiama

Thanks. That was supposed to say 91.9. Fixed now :).
Rockhampton into Geelong, upto 107.9
Had a station carrying Horse Racing on 102.1 in Kiama via eSkip. // to 103.7
Just had a look at the FMList map. Looks like everyone’s getting Es:
Too bad the QLD TEF servers don’t have auto-scanning and logging enabled.
I’ve given up trying to request an account, been knocked back twice so wont bother trying again
That’s unfortunate. I wonder why they won’t approve you.
On another note, I seem to be getting a relay of a TV station on 97.9 (edit: It’s relaying 10 Drama).
Not sure where it’s coming from. Maybe the SBS relay at Meandarra has gone off channel perhaps?
In Buxton for the day and have about 5 things on every frequency. Photos will come later (there are about 50 with rds so far!
temp antenna setup
Feels like I must have received every station in SA!
Wouldn’t have thought it possible to have a Victorian station wipe out River in Brisbane.
Which station did it? Triple J West Vic?
Yes JJJ.
Today was a lot of first time catches for me. Had most stations from Hervey Bay / Maryborough in the north all the way down to Manning River / Middle Brother in the south, the latter I had not seen here yet.
(Mostly places I’ve never been to yet, maybe a DX road trip inbound?)
Here is all the RDS I took photos of today using the yagi in Buxton. Will mount it on the roof sometime soon.
Non RDS catches:
Vision Christian 90.1 Biloela
Hit 101.7 Rolleston
Breeze 101.3 Miles
ABC 94.9 Biloela
Hit 93.3 Clairview
Hit 106.5 Bluff
2VM 92.9 Lightning Ridge
Plus triple J on 102.1 matching the QLD timezone, no idea where this would’ve been from
Some great catches there!
I’d never even heard of Switch FM on 89.5… looks to be a HPON at Yuleba in Western QLD.
Here’s a clip of the unidentified station on 97.9 relaying 10 Drama during the Es opening to QLD:
It’s a bounce back from the satellite that Rupert’s dad launched all those years ago.
