Currently, there's plenty of HF activity observed here in Melbourne, especially during our mid-afternoon period on 6 MHz, 7 MHz, 9 MHz, and 11 MHz, marked by strong long-path signals from Europe, Africa and the Middle
East. Brazilian signals are also good, on 11 MHz and 9 MHz, propagating over the Antarctic route, arriving here from the south. Strong propagation also from North and Central Americas, short path.
Despite the disappearance of many HF broadcasters, spectrum occupancy remains high in the window 0500-0600.
The following summary of key occupancies was made on September 18 2012 between 0500 and 0600 in the Warrandyte State Park, 15 km east of central Melbourne, on the banks of the famous Yarra River, at the Pound Bend picnic area. The only interference was from screeching Cockatoos and Galahs!
