There has been excellent propagation in the 60 mb into Melbourne in the period around sunrise and for about an hour later, from 1800 to past 2000, for shortpath transmissions originating in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The recently introduced channel of 4765 from the Tajik Radio, at Dushanbe, has been one the strongest signals.
This is what the band looked like on December 2, 2008:
4765 TAJIKISTAN Tajik Radio, Dushanbe, 1830-2000, Tajik
4770 NIGERIA R. Nigeria, Kaduna 1830-2000
4780 DJIBOUTI R. Djibouti, 1800-1900
4828 ZIMBABWEZBC, Gweru, 1830-1900
4845 MAURITANIA R. Mauritania, Nouachkott 1800-2000
4880 S. AFRICA SW R. Africa, Meyerton, 1800-1900*
4930 BOTSWANA VOA, 1830-1900
4965 ZAMBIA CVC, Lusaka, 1800-2000
4976 UGANDA R. Uganda, Kampala, 1830-2000
5010 MADAGASCAR RTV Malagasy, Tananarive, 1800-1900
I've recently been finding the 60 mb a bit mushy and hard to pull signals from in the early AM. The spectacular African catches mentioned here whet my appetitite to try again. Hope my selectivity approaches Bob's.
