Mostly Aussie again, with Zedders there too, including a rarely heard Star on 657 (sneaking past the splash), and a couple of mysteries on 792 and 1512. A couple of Asians faded up around 1400UT. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 612

It's been a great season here also for 729, as I've heard audio there several times, likely as many times as I've heard audio there in the previous 10-15 years. Same applies to 612, which has been almost common of late, whereas in previous years I read about it pounding in out west, with

Per the August 2016 PAL concerning Radio National: "The same programming is carried throughout the country simultaneously on all stations." Theo Donnelly and I hashed this out last April, and concluded that RN broadcast in local time, but guess it hasn't found its way through to PAL yet.

Points well taken Russ. The past was a different country. I'm not sure a Flag would help much, though everything is worth a try. What a Flag does well is knock down interference off the back, and outside of Vancouver, BC there really isn't that much interference here from about 180

Geometry is a big piece. To elaborate on Chuck's comment, the auroral oval sinks to a lower latitude in ECNA than it does in the western portions. That results in more absorption of stations whose skywave interacts with that, and thus more signals from the South. Add in the partial water path over
