Hi Gary,
Ah, the mysteries of propagation! Double checked my Perseus
recordings to make sure I hadn't missed something earlier on, and no -
still very poor until the upper end of the band. The only additional
(very feeble) audio I discovered was on 1575 and 1683.24 (presumably
Radio Club AM). Definitely a "Tale of Two Bands" here, with the
X-band having its 2nd best day of the month, with the 18th still being #1.

Hi Nigel,
Wow, it was the exact opposite during this last morning here at Rockwork 4.
By far the best morning for Australia the whole week, with 576, 774 and 792
pegging the PL-380 S/N readout. The Kiwis were enhanced too, though, leading to
snarling fights on many frequencies. The only thing that seemed dead here was
the X-band :-)

This morning looked like a dud when I first tuned in at 1100, with even
Tahiti's carrier very weak. Indeed, Tahiti never did reach audio today,
and most of the other carriers were weaker than the past while. Was
pleasantly surprised when I reached the X-band though, to find weak
audio on both 1629 and 1701. Multiple carriers at varying offsets noted
on 1629. 1701 had two distinct ones, of similar strength. Brisvaani
has been heard here numerous times (though never in July), and the music
I heard could certainly have been them, but with a weak signal (and IBOC
noise from 1690) it was hard to be certain. The two strongest
non-Xband carriers were on 1566 and 1575, both very near to audio, so
evidently the higher frequencies were strongly favoured today.
