1629 6ABN Busselton WA.
« on: March 15, 2016, 1103 UTC »
Season is not over!

1629 11.3. 2155-2205 AUS: 6ABN Busselton WA. I admit I was more than puzzled while hearing English on x-band in the middle of South European pirates. Greece on 1628, Balkan on 1631. Even more puzzling was the fact it was Christian talk. What choices there are but Australia? 2200 utc clear id "You are listening to 3ABN Radio Network." Magnetic storm raging, SW very silent, everything upside down, and greyline over Western Australia at the moment, 6 AM local time.

Assistant manager told they have been received previously twice in South Africa, but it's basically all sea between Western Australia and Capetown, so Finland is something else. I replied that it may very well be a case of once in a lifetime, though I have heard two Australian x-banders before. They were both from Queensland.

In image you can see the magnifient transmitter tower of 6ABN giving out knee jerking 400 watts.

Good value that logging!  Best I am getting this way from 127kms west of Sydney is New Zealand on MW most nights, too many Australian stations gives bleed over.  The majority of Pacific Islands MW stations have all gone across to FM so not very many at all left to go hunting for... 8)

Last night "ZB Talk Radio" Wellington New Zealand on 1035KHz and Titahi Bay (near Wellington) on 567KHz both around 5X8 report at 0945z. :D
