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. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
