As winter approaches, there is excellent propagation into Melbourne during various "spectrum windows", particularly during our daytime hours, from all continents.
Morning signals in the 49 mb are now audible well beyond 2300, over two hours past sunrise, shortpath from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
Brazilian signals are also observed in the 49, 31 and 25 mbs in the window 2000 to 2200.
Ths is a summary of important spectrum ccupancies noted on April 29, which include newly introduced frequencies for A09.

Propagation research notes
There have been no sunspots for over 40 days now, but HF propagation continues to be excellent here in Melbourne during our mid-afternoons, on 6, 7, 9, 11, and 13 MHz.
Longpath signals from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East dominate, with shortpath from the Americas and Asia.
Here are some of my propagation research notes, compiled from a field site in the Warrandyte State Park, about 20 km east of the Melbourne CBD, on April 17, 2009, in the period 0500 to 0600.

Adventist World Radio Asia - Wavescan program to close in May
I have received advice from Rhoen Catolico, Assistant Producer, AdventistWorld Radio-Asia, that the long-running weekly English languagecommunications/media/DX Wavescan program will be closed down in May.
This is a consequence of a decision made by AWR Headquarters in the USA.
At present, AWR-Asia programming originates from studios in Singapore - from June, production will be moved to Indonesia.
The Wavescan program is broadcast from KSDA in Guam, and via the Wertachtal (Germany) relay, for a target audience across Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and the Pacific. It is also rebroadcast over WRMI, in the USA.
Since Wavescan's inception some years ago, EDXP has provided major input each month via the Australian DX Report features, for 15 minutes. During the month, Wavescan also includes features contributed from other members of the production team, including Japan, Bangladesh and Indonesia.
From June, this will mean that the only weekly media/communications/DXprogram on SW targeting Asia and the Pacific will be HCJB's DX Partyline,from Kununurra, Western Australia, which has a short version of theAustralian DX Report each month of four minutes duration.
It is not known if AWR-HQ in the USA will produce any regular communications/media/DX type programs after May.

Daytime propagatin excellent in Melbourne!
The present solar cycle, no. 23, remains in a state of limbo, with still no sunspots for the past several months.
Despite this, propagation continues to be excellent on frequencies below 12 MHz during the various "windows" which become available throughout the day and night.
Here in Melbourne, one of these "windows" is in the period 0400 to 0600, with very good propagation now observed on 6, 7, 9, and 11 MHz, dominated by longpath transmission from Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and shortpath from the Americas.
I was in the Dandenong Ranges National park today, in the Olinda Forest, 20 km from here, and I spent some time with the Eton E5 connected to a 10m antenna on the Olinda Creek Rd, at the junction with gated Road 19. Road 19 leads to an abandoned farmhouse, now owned by Parks Victoria. This is a location where there is no power line interference.
Of particular interest in the period 0400 to 0530 were some Brazilians on 9 and 11 MHz - propagation from Brazil is rather rare during our daytime, and signal strength was good.
I believe that the "sunspot propagation myth" has now been exploded - good long-distance propagation below 12 MHz during the appropriate periods of the day does not require any sunspot activity at all, and here in Melbourne, the 9 MHz band is now open for the full 24 hours as autumn proceeds.
When sunspot activity resumes, this will of course extend the upper frequency usage for distance propagation, with transmissions on darkness or semi-darkness paths on frequencies up to 30 MHz, and higher!
In the meantime, HF operations over long distances over darkness, or semi-darkness paths, will be more reliable on frequencies below about 12 MHz.
This is a sample of my entries of today between 0430 and 0500, unless stated otherwise - several new relay operations are included:
