Stations in the Pacific
and VK wkg HC2 , not a sound in VK5 , not hearing much out of XE or CE as well , on any Band ,
hearing a few PY ,
but no LU , at least the vacant HF broadcast bands make it easier to hear PY now, on 9Mhz and 11Mhz.

28.267 VK7RAE/b 0843 569 Es , 0912z* check had gone , 1249 549 Es , doubt the many receptions of RAE/b
late at night are Auroral Es , never have that " Tone A " sound , despite all the disturbances that
we are having ,
always found 46.240Mhz ABMN0 to be the better Auroral monitor when it was still on air, a 10M beacon
in Hobart
would do the trick , are you listening Santa !! , often notice the huge K index differences between
Hobart and
Launceston , quite dramatic.
