We are now in the second week of winter here in Melbourne, and 9 MHz
propagation is splendid across our noon window on 9 MHz, at 0200 UTC.
This pattern will continue during our mid-winter period until mid-July.
The 9 MHz band is not as heavily occupied as in the corresponding period of
2011, due to the continuing abandonment of HF radio by an increasing number of broadcasters, leaving plenty of unused spectrum space. There are still plenty of opportunities of studying long-haul multi-hop propagation in this
time period, as we progress through Solar Cycle 24, with solar activity now
classified as "low" by the Ionospheric Prediction Service in Sydney, NSW.
These are selected observations made on June 11 2012, in the window 0100 to 0230.
