Welcome


Hello and welcome to my blog.

My wife and I relocated to Mangawhai, Northland, New Zealand - just over 100 km north of Auckland in July of 2018. Whilst not as active as I would like to be, this is a record of what I have been hearing.

New loggings

Work has been unexpectedly hectic of late as our exam candidates' time for departure approaches. Lots of loose ends need to be tied up so that means that there isn't as much time for listening. However, I have done a little listening as have logged Roumania (RRI) on 15255 in French at 1100 UTC (quite a good signal) and Tanzania/ Zanzibar on 11735 in Swahili. The signal was at quite good strength but there was some noise - this was at 1700 UTC. Also logged was Athmeeya Yatra Radio coming out of Nauen (Germany) also on 15235 in Tharu (not a language of which I have ever heard!). The signal was fair in strength, but steady.

A couple of weeks ago I recorded a segment of prgramming for KMRB, a Cantonese language station in Pasadena, CA on 1430. It runs at 9.8 kw, apparently, but the signal wasn't very strong and was mixed with a couple of other stations. The recording, lasting a minute or so, was of advertising (for ginseng!) I have sent it off with an email and await developments, hopefully not in vain!
