Monitoring Notes

Propagation into Melbourne continues to be excellent in our early afternoon
period, with strong longpath signals from Europe, Africa, and the Middle
East, and shortpath from Asia and the Americas on 6 MHz, 7 MHz, and 13 MHz.

This is a summary of spectrum occupancy between 0430 and 0500, monitored
August 5 2010, at one of my favourite field monitoring sites, at the Jumping
Creek Reserve, Warrandyte State park, 20 km east of Central Melbourne, using
the E5 receiver and a 3 m random antenna.
