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.

May loggings

A return to work post lockdown means there is not much time for DXing at nights. The best thing to happen is that the League had a new SDR, or rather one that has moved. Whereas we had two in Northland, we now have one there and the one that was pointing south east has now migrated 600km south to Opunake. League member Mike Smith is hosting. While initially noisy, Mike has worked on the EWE and now with a much quieter EWE some interesting thins have been heard.

I managed to log Radio la 1010 in Montevideo, Uruguay the other night. It was not a wonderful signal, but its presence was confirmed by a check with the web feed.

This is a list of what I have heard this month, in the few moments I have had to listen.

The * under Antenna means the NE SDR in Northland. The # means the SE EWE in Opunake.
