I went over to the Park yesterday to check out some early-afternoon
propagation patterns in the 0400-0500 window.
This was at the Jumping Creek Picnic Ground, next to the Yarra.
|Long-haul multi-hop propagation below about 11 MHz was affected by unusually high absorption on long path routes from Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and short path signals from the Americas were similarly degraded.
However, above 15 MHz, short path (daylight) propagation from Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia was rather good.
This is the summary made on October 16 2012 0400 to 0500 at Warrandyte, with many channels for Iran noted!
9610 IRAN Arabic

17675 NEW ZEALAND RNZI DRM service blocking everything from 17660 to 17690. This is now obsolete technology!
Australia - a note about Radio Australia schedules – the so-called definitive current A12 schedule being circulated via newsgroups is pure drivel, containing many inaccuracies and omissions and should be ignored. Somebody has got hold of the Radio Australia internal engineering line-feed network data, thinking this to be actual transmitter usage, which is nothing of the sort. I would seriously question why Radio Australia or its transmission provider Broadcast Australia would release this sort of internal engineering information to hobby groups.
Radio Australia operations from Australian transmitter sites are not shown in the public HFCC schedule, but frequency usage for some offshore relays (except Taiwan) is in fact given, which is coordinated by the Babcock transmission provider.
Voice of America - transmissions in Tibetan are heavily jammed by the Chinese. In order to escape the jammers, some services from Udon (Thailand) use a different frequency each day, such as the midday 0300-0400 broadcast:
