- - Double V Shortwave Australia here

- - Can anyone here tell me please what they get on 2368.5 at the
moment ?
- - What is that in meters ?

- That's the 120 meter band. This time of day on 120 meters is just
noise.

The 2368.5 kHz Frequency is in the 120 Metre "Tropical Band"
and at 1KW is simply used for Local Region Broadcasting which
can often run 24/7.

Where we in California -USA- may have Noise all over the Band
at that UTC Time they may be in a Quiet Period in Australia.

Plus even on a Noisy Band -if- you are 'close enough'
{in Country} 1 KW will get through.
