High Frequency Report from Australia

Good daytime propagation continues from Asia into Melbourne on 11 MHz in the
afternoon window 0400 to 0500.

This band is dominated by many transmissions from China, including some
regional services, which is one of my areas of specialized frequency
research.

Solar activity has fallen (again) and the 10.7 cm solar flux is now 135, and
the daily SSN is 89.

This is a brief summary of key occupancies observed on January 10, 2012,
from one of favourite field monitoring ites in the Warrandyte State Park, 1
km east of central Melbourne, using the E5 receiver and two metres of
antenna,
between 0400 and 0500.
