I have not been doing much "radio stuff" over the past week or so, just getting back in to it now
Date: 12/06/2015

Notes: My first session for this project after a three month break. Results were as I would expect with the bottom to middle of the band producing the best signals. HPON Geelong on 1341KHz produced a solid "2" which was good given the time of day and power output.

How about doing the check at the same time each day and plotting the results on a map so we can see where those stations are - distance wise? So far to me the results are meaningless. There will be seasonal differences too, darker earlier in winter etc.
Great idea though - well done.

Notes: As I expected the bottom half of the band produced signals of a good level, above 1080KHz signals dropped off badly. HPON Geelong on 1341KHz was down on normal but still audible most of the time. 3LO was also up on normal.

Long Term Ultralight DXing Project - Comparing Different Locations
Recently we have moved house, as part of this I have ran a small side project where I have compared the average signal level of these stations at the two locations and then graphed them.
All stations were logged at around the same time of day over a few days at each location and then the signal levels were averaged and graphed.
As can be seen below the new location generally provides better signals levels with only 7BU on 558KHz and 7AD on 900KHz being noticeably worse at this new location.
