interesting observations from our friend down under. Thanks, Bob
Well, the shortest day has passed and we're on the way to spring and autumn!
The excellent trans-noon propagation in the 0100 to 0300 period on 6 MHz and 7 MHz is now history - I wait for the Day Time Modes on those bands which occur during spring and summer!
Morning propagation pre-sunrise on 49mb has been excellent, shortpath from Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia. Afternoon propagation on 6 MHz, 7 MHz, 9 MHz, 11 MHz, excellent, in period 0400 to 0500, longpath from Europe, Middle East, Africa, and shortpath from Asia and Americas.
Here are some selected entries:
