Monitored between 13:46 and 14:32 only. SF 67 A 14 and K3, so disturbed. Only got to the bottom third of the band, really, but what I heard was all over the map. The star performer this morning on the antenna front was my newest Conti corner fed broadband loop which is aimed around 244 degrees towards Australia. Dimension wise, it's also my largest antenna with a height of about 50 feet and horizontal dimension of about 75 feet. Star station this morning has to be Radio Fiji 1 on 639 at 9 level at times after 14:00, // to it's internet feed with either a politician or a preacher going on and on. A clip has been uploaded to www.dxer.ca , so have a listen! Also first time in a long while that NZ was propagating this way....haven't heard them since the Queen Charlottes. Here's the catch:

South Conti loop only. 612: Brisbane at 8 level 621 639: up to 9 level from Radio Fiji, // to internet feed, and possibly // to 684 as well 666: NHK1 675: Radio National NZ, Christchurch with wx forecasts at 14:14, best with ALA 100 loop (aimed NZ, by the way) at 7 level 684: ?snippets of Radio Fiji 1 at 14:16 on S Conti loop only. 693: NHK2 at 8 level, but best on S Conti loop too! 729, 738 747: NHK2 at 8 level at 14:26 in Italian 774: ditto 828: 6 only 1269, 1314, 1512, 1566: all 6 level only.
