Monitoring from South Hill, Warrandyte State Park

I was in the Warrandyte State Park, about 25 mins from here, on Sunday January 31, a fiercely hot day of around 35 degrees!

I was doing some gold prospecting around the old mines of the 1870s, on the top of South Hill, next to Fiddler's Gully.

No nuggets found, but propagation was excellent in the window 0300 to 0400 on 11 MHz, early afternoon, with shortpath Asia and longpath Africa dominating.

This is what the band looked like:
