Re: Can hear Brisbane's ABC 612 in Canberra tonight

Speaking of NZ, I’m listening to a Radio NZ National broadcast tonight on 9700 Hz which is supposedly targeted to the Solomon Islands according to their website www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen. I’m very impressed by the Icom R30.

Can hear Brisbane's ABC 612 in Canberra tonight

I'm new to HF/SW/MW listening but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I just started walking my way through the commercial AM broadcast range tonight and discovered that I can hear Brisbane's ABC 612! It was quite noisy (and faded periodically) on my R30 with stock antenna, but it was definitely there.

The register search function is still down ... I’m starting to wonder if something is quite broken as other parts of the ACMA website appear to be ok?
