Interesting that you should mention that Nick, as I have been a bit puzzled about the apparent rarity of 2RN 846 on the coast. I hear 891 ABC Adelaide and 1116 Brisbane 4BC far more than any other Aussies, but Canberra on 846 would definitely be in the second tier below them, and I typically hear it several times a season. One of those unexplained anomalies of propagation I suppose.At 05:19 8/28/2010, you wrote:Hi Gary, Great job on catching 2RN with your ultralight radio setup. I took a look in the Grayland Master Log maintained by Chuck, and there are only two confirmed loggings of 2RN shown. One was in 1997 by David Clark (heard // 792 and 585), and the 2nd instance was a log by Jean Burnell (// 792).I'm pretty sure John B. reported them from Grayland in June 2006, so maybe I need to see if those logs are somewhere around and pass them on to Chuck. Actually, after scanning through old DX Monitors (keyword "Canberra", rather than "2RN" which is the call letter for a number of channels), I found that Nigel Pimblett apparently hears 846 more often than we do on the coast....or at least he reports it!
