FM DX - Indonesia to NSW - 3000 mile E-Skip

D

dxer2_2000

Hi all

Today I had my most incredible FM catch from here in Bombala NSW
Australia (200 km south of Canberra). At 16:39 local time on the
31/12/06 I received FM From Indonesia on 95.4 MHz. The reception only
lasted for 30 seconds but did get a clear ID of "Radio Republic
Indonesia". From Jember, Jawa Timur Jember (YB3) to Bombala is some
3000 miles (4830 km)! Here is a link to the audio file
(Thanks to Todd Emslie for hosting this).

Funny thing is, it was the ONLY station heard. Not even Darwin FMs
were logged. Only the Darwin 6m Beacon on 50.31 MHz. This year has
been a fantastic season with many 2-Es opening to WA & Fiji. Only
yesterday 30/12/06 I had good reception to KHON-2 Honolulu at S6 on
the R-7100's S meter. I even heard the audio on 59.76.

Re: FM DX - Indonesia to NSW - only 2000 mile E-Skip - correction to log

After some detective work by Curtis Sadowski , that reception came from an unlisted RRI transmitter in Meruake Indonesia, so that would make it a distance of around 2000 miles, not 3000 miles.

Merauke is located in West Papua Province on the southern coastline of New Guinea Island, near Indonesia's border with Papua New Guinea, across the Torres Strait from Cape York on the northernmost tip of Queensland
