We arrived home in Mangawhai this evening and found two QSLs from Radio Romania International awaiting. They are for loggings in January on 7345 kHz and March on 15255 kHz. Both were logged in Malaysia.

The 5m EWE is up
... and the signals are coming in - they haven't been great, but they are there. The problem with a SE pointing EWE up north is that in order to catch the Latin signals, you have to go through all the NZ ones. On the SDR I can see all the carriers on 10kHz spacings, but the locals are just too strong.
I have managed to hear Radio Capital in Lima, Peru on 1470 and I think it may have been Radio Bandolera in Mexico on 1410. However, others are also lurking and just waiting to be heard....
I haven't had an opportunity yet to listen at the crucial period an hour before sunset. However, this weekend might just be the time. My wife and I now have jobs down in Auckland - about 120km away. We are down there from Monday-Friday and home at the weekend. Saturday night is the night to listen!
