Despite the absence of sunspots (who needs them anyway!), there is continuing excellent propagation into Melbourne during our after noon window, on 17 and 21 MHz.
This is dominated by transmitters located in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, with signals following the shortpath (daylight) route from the west.
Channel occupancy on 17 MHz is extremely high.
Here is a summary made on May 9, between 0500 and 0530, from a field site in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, 30 km east of the Melbourne CBD, using the Eton E5 receiver and 5 m of antenna.
The location was at the junction of Management Road 13 and Olinda Creek Rd, near the Olinda Creek.
