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.


Some areas of the U.S. receive a much stronger Radio Australia signal
than others. If you are located on the west coast chances are the
signal will be much weaker than on the east coast where it can peg the
s meter on a portable.

NZ and Australia are weak during the daytime and much stronger
dinnertime to middle mornings. Last night (dinnertime on) they were very
strong on the 19 meter (15Mz) band and 22 meters (13 MHz) band. Try
KHz UTC
15515 02:00 to 07:00
15240 01:00 to 07:00
13670 07:00 to 09:00

The 13630 is listed but my sometimes faulty brain thinks they are on
13670.

NZ is the same story, dinnertime to early mornings are the strongest
signals.
