has dropped to 102, and the daily SSN has fallen to 50. These levels are
very low, and long distance multi-hop propagation is unreliable on
frequencies above 12 MHz for darkness paths.
Here in Melbourne, we are now within the autumn equinox window - we are
still on Australian Eastern Summer Time, which is a real pain, as sunrise
doesn't happen now until after 7am!
The later sunrise means that the bands below 10 MHz are now very good much
later, for shortpath (darkness) transmissions from Asia, Europe, Middle
East, and Africa - 5 MHz up to 2200, 6 MHz up to 2300, 7 MHz up to 0000, and
9 MHz up to 0100.
This is a summary of main occupancies intercepted in the upper section of
the 7 MHz
band, between 2100 and 2200, on March 16, 2011.
