Radio Australia much stronger on 9580 and 11880 than usual this
morning and sounding like a local station with S10 level
signals.
New Zealand on the other hand weak and noisy but listen-able at
17:00 UTC.

Ran across it this morning and it was its usual 10-20 over S9
here.

Radio Australia, 9580 at around 1300...

As you could guess RA is stronger earlier in the morning trending
toward a weaker signal later morning. The lower frequency on 31
meters
fades first so I switch my listening to the higher one on 25 meters
as
late morning approaches. For this time in the morning 9580 was much
stronger and 11880 is little better than usual for me. Both were very
good.

New Zealand was a different story this morning at 17:00 UTC very weak
where they were very strong during my dark hours.

I apparently have RNZ here at 2125 on 15265 but so weak as to be almost
inaudible.

How is it on your end today?

Well around 17:00 UTC I only listened to them a few minutes and they
were noisy with the normal static noise you hear on any weak signal but
they were "listen-able" from the standpoint that without effort I could
understand all that was said over the bookshelf speaker. That is my
definition of "listen-able."

Currently they sound about the same on 17,675 right now at 21:47 UTC. I
expect them to sound better here a little later in the day.

My plan is to listen to RA again next on 21,740 at 22:00 UTC.

I should have mentioned the RN is hemmed in with a bubble jammer cover a
transmission on the lower channel and another strong station on the
channel above.

Australia is good on 21,740 today at 22:00 UTC. S6 level on RX340 with a
little noise in the background and occasional fading but no distortion
with the sync and I don't miss any content because of it. This signal
usually improves in quality throughout the broadcast. The folded dipole
is at its 2X frequency so until I make or buy a distribution amp I'll
listen to the 13 meter band one radio at a time.

My reception of the 21,740 segment did not improve toward the end of
the broadcast. Signal level was about the same from beginning to end.

Listening to RA now on 17,795 and 17,715 and also NZ still on 17,675
all about the same signal quality with a signal strength of S6 average.
NZ is better now just because the jamming one channel below and and
another strong station above are gone.
