I wasn't particularly looking yesterday but for ADS-B I "saw" one
plane in excess of 450km to the south of me and that's unusual, I
normally run out of range around 350km in that direction. I
regularly see 500km+ over the Pacific but not to the south.<br>
<br>
Pretty much whenever a low pressure trough pushes against a high
pressure system there'll be enhanced propagation somewhere towards
the high. The classic is a high over the Tasman Sea, between Oz and
NZ, and a low trough in western Victoria. That happens frequently
and I see aircraft over the Pacific to 600km+ at those times, well
beyond normal range.<br>
<br>
The attachment is timed 00:00 yesterday (Sunday) and if that high
and low system was rotated 90° CW I'd expect some sort of
enhancement over the Pacific. I'm a lot less familiar with inland
systems, however.<br>

aprs.fi gives the distance as 120.9km.
No height advantage from my end, so were there any other signs of good
propagation today?
