Default radio australia signal is weak

I had success receiving Radio Australia last summer in the 19 meter band. I've been looking up their frequencies on primetimeshortwave.com . Lately I am only getting faint signals, which are even weaker than the Voice of Russia.

Has anyone in North America had success with Radio Australia in the past few months? I'm curious to know which times and frequencies are successful.

Typically I use a Sony ICF SW7600GR or Eton E5 with just the builtin antenna. Grounding hasn't helped much - the signal just seems too weak. I'm in an apartment and I don't have the option for a lengthy outdoor antenna. I have a DE31 loop antenna that doesn't really help.
