Three from 75

The low frequencies in the Australian summertime require quite a bit of patience. It's not always the best time of year to be listening due largely to high noise levels from thunderstorm activity in various parts of the country and throughout the Pacific. Also, signals fade-out earlier in our mornings and fade-in later in our evenings. 

There's not too many stations listed on 75 meter band these days, and they are the ones that have been there for many years. Here's three stations noted yesterday from 5:18 am local time:


3965   FRANCE. R. Taiwan International - Issoudon.  English service at 1815 to Europe. Good reception on this low frequency for this time of year.

4050   KYRGYZSTAN.  R. Rossii - Bishkek. Fair level in Russian with talks at 1830. Not often reported, probably because it's a little out-of-band.


4319   DIEGO GARCIA.  AFRTS (AFN). A lovely signal at 1835 with a pop music program in upper sideband. Frequent IDs and pleasant listening.
