Did you know that the maximum elevation of the Sun, here in Melbourne, on June 7, is only 29.5 degrees, at solar noon, which is at 12.19 pm (0219 UTC)?
Our daylight allocation, nearing the shortest day, is now only 9 hrs 37 mins, with sunrise at 7.30 am (2130 UTC) and sunset at 5.08 pm (0708 UTC).
This means that propagation from all continents, over darkness or semi-darkness paths, on frequencies below 10 MHz, is now at its peak, during the various windows which exist.
