FWIW, 1683.3 is the transmitter in Sydney.

Many DU hets have been noted here since the month kicked off, mostly captured on unattended SDR recordings while I'm at work. The bulk of these hets have been high band stuff extending right up to 1701 kHz. 4QD on 1548.01 has been heard with bits of brief but distinguishable Aussie talk on three different mornings (including this morning). 1611 has had brief music at times but mostly clobbered by CHHA slop. 1637.99 & 1683.28 also brought bits of music during signal peaks. The music heard on 1683.28 seemed to match the Greek music from Radio Club AM during one live listening session during the morning of Sept. 2nd, which I was also monitoring on the Brisbane Perseus node. September 13th had the best propagation so far this month with more stuff producing audio with clearly visible "modulation trails" on the SDR, but it was all spoiled by heavy t-storm noise to the North that morning. Finding the perfect balance of good DU propagation combined with low atmospheric noise is always challenging here in September. On the domestic side, Washington state has been well represented here every morning this week via 1510 KGA and 1550 KRPI with very good signals at times right around 1100 UTC (local sunrise here is 1127 UTC). These, along with the DUs above, were all monitored on the North D-KAZ antenna. For anyone else in the Great Lakes region, it might be worth your while to check the dials in the morning as conditions have been pretty impressive here! 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan Perseus SDR + North/South reversible D-KAZ _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Be sure to register now for the Joint DX Convention Kansas City, September 9 to 11.
