Toowoomba Main Street in 1897 (click onto the pic for a high resolution). Nicknamed 'The Garden City', Toowoomba is situated in South East Queensland. 4QS Toowoomba, QLD made it through to Fish Hoek on 747 kHz, a frequency usualy dominated by co-channel 6SE Radio West, Esperance WA. The station was heard on the 1st May at 1705 UTC with the SRF-M37V and 220 m BOG.
Graham from the ABC kindly verified my reception report and included an attachment with a diagram of the tx radiation pattern.
4QS broadcasts at an ERP of 10kW from a transmitter located at 27'08'47"S / 151'18'02"E at an elevation of 350m above sea level from a 219m tower. It's interesting that the height of the tx tower is virtually a perfect match for the 220 m BOG.
