Decent signal into west coast USA. 0802-current RST=449. (S3 preamp

Pop music, talk, definite ABC ID.


Unsure whether this is Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, or Katherine, but
per ABC website it sounds like it's probably Tennant Creek.


Apparently propagation is pretty good tonight, as the signal is
stable, with minimal fading.


Antenna is 102 foot G5RV into ICOM-746PRO.


GUD DX

I have found that Oz tends to fade in not until a few hours later,
around 1100-1200 UTC. That's when there's enough darkness to
sufficiently propagate the signal. By 1400 they're usually booming
in.


Where are you located, approximately? I wonder if there was some
unusual propagation path then. The signal was surprisingly free of
deep fades. I went to sleep well before 1100. I will try towards
then later. Though the signal was readable enough to hear the "ABC"
announcements and the unmistakable female and male Australian
accents
