Here in wintry Melbourne, our sunset is now at its earliest, 0707 UTC, which is 5.07 pm local time. Sunrise is now 2111 UTC, which is 7.11 am local, and transit time of the sun is 0218 UTC, 12.18 pm.This has resulted in good propagation from all continents during the various windows, one of which is our sunrise Brazilian mode in the 60 and 49 mbs.
This specialized mode appears each winter, and on June 4, Brazilian transmitters were audible on
4985 2055 to 2120
4915 2103 to 2135
5990 *2000-2100* (a one hr transmission)
6183 2200 to 2300 (off-channel!)
Propagation is via the transmission path crossing the Antarctic regions.
I have included a comprehensive summary of recent propagation events in episode 154 of the Australian DX Report audio news mgazine, which also features news and information about shortwave broadcasting, propagation, further monitoring notes, new schedules, extracts from schedules, and schedule updates.
