Monitoring Notes 5750-5985 spectrum

There are still no sunspots visible, and it is being conjectured that we may be passing through a "double hump" at the bottom end of solar cycle no. 23.

Cycle 24 does not appear to have commenced as yet, and long distance propagation on frequencies above about 11 MHz across darkness paths is currently very unreliable.

Despite this, there has been continuing excellent shortpath propagation from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East into Melbourne on 5, 6, 7, and 9 MHz between 1800 and 2000, with very few unoccupied channels.

This is a summary of selected items noted in the 5750-5985 spectrum, the lower portion of the 49 mb between 1930 and 2000 on March 11.
