afternoon
daytime HF modes, but not at the same level or intensity as observed on Jan
7!
This is the composite pattern as discovered on January 8, 2010, at the Eagle
Nest
Picnic Ground, Olinda Forest, 40 km east of central Melbourne, and on
January 10 at the Pound Bend Reserve, Warrandyte State Park, 20 km from
central Melbhourne.
I have also included some observations of broadcasts originating from
outside the
Asian and African areas.

Note:
The daytime Asia and African modes were discovored from Melbourne in 1959 -
they were observed over many years since, in Victoria, NSW, SA and WA,
appearing at around noon local time.
They are not the sort of thing that can be "dialled up", as they fade-in
and fade-out randomly and cannot be predicted. It's a matter of being there
when they are happening!
In the peak years of the 1960s and 1970s, many Asian and African signals
were audible in summwer at local noon in Eastern Australia (*0200 UTC) on 4
MHz, 5 MHz, and 6 MHz.
Those were the days!
Regards from Melbourne!
