Monitoring Research - 11 MHz

Propagation into Melbourne during the mid-afternoon period on 11 MHz
continues to be very good, with super-strong longpath signals from Europe,
Africa, and the Middle East, and shortpath from Asia and Americas.

This is a summary of spectrum occupancies for selected transmissions from
those regions in the window 0400 to 0500, as monitored from a field site at
Fifth Hill, Warrandyte State Park, 20 km east of central Melbourne, on
August 18, 2010, using the Eton E5 and 3m random antenna.
