Radio Australia and New Zealand this morning
 

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.

I actually had worse reception of RA this a.m. than the past few days. Snow
and cold here. I'll blame that.

Yeah, it was to cold in your neck of the woods for the radio waves so
they headed south and I got to receive them.

I'm currently listening to Radio Netherlands. 17,875 and 17,725 with big
signal, 15,315 a little weak and 17,810 is the weakest signal for me.

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

Radio Australia, 9580 at around 1300...

Exactly! Checked the antenna just to make sure b/c we had quite of bit of
melting before this snow and I wondered about ice bringing it down
somewhere. It is intact. I must have been out of the path or something.
We're still getting aurora on clear nights, which I couldn't tell yesterday
of course.

RN was broadcasting on these frequencies 19:00 to 21:00 UTC.

Now listening to Radio Japan on 17,825 with big excellent sounding
signal 21:00 UTC.

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?

Running about S3-5 here.

The RX340 is connected to the horizontal loop is seeing average S6 and
the Drake is connected to the folded dipole cut for 25 meters shows S9.

With the volume up the Drake no background noise which is my definition
of "sounding like a local station" the RX340 has some static hiss noise
on the signal dips. If I switched the antennas I would expect the
reverse although the Drake is a little more sensitive then the Ten-Tec.

Rock and roll playing right now.

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.

About S7-8 here at 2159 with "Waltzing Matilda"

Nice signal.

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.

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.

RA is stronger today on 21,740 averaging more like S7 or S8 with some

UTC so far.
