Down in Margaret River WA tonight.
Did a quick band scan in the motel carpark.
Canāt get much on FM on the TEF, just the local Margaret River Hit95.7 relay on 100.3, and community radio RMR on 101.9.
Bunbury ABCs 93.3 and 94.1 were fair to good, Hit 95.7 weaker.
Could get the new ABC Perth 102.5, 103.3 and 104.1 weak, JJJ, ABC, SBS and Sonshine 98.5 was next best from Perth, other community stations from Perth were very weak but commercials couldnāt be received at all.
AM was more interesting (on my Digitech AR-1780, a replacement as my old one had packed it in, so nipped into Rockingham Jaycar on the way down to pick one up). Lots of vacant AM frequencies here again. My AM log
