Monitoring from Melbourne - Nov 30 2010

As anticipated, the month has ticked over to December, and it is now
officially summer here in Victoria!

Looks set for a good season of bushwalking, coastal hiking, water action,
and Alpine exploration!

Propagation continues to be very good in our mornings uo to about 13 MHz -
shortpath from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Middle East, and my spectrum
research on Nov 30 has uncovered many new channel occupancies - here are
some selected entries, with some items on 60 mb:
