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.

A new verie

 KSTN 1420 in Stockton, CA has come back with a verie for a logging on March 30. They were heard with a music program with no sign of the Hawaiian KKEA. I sent the report via their Facebook page and back came the reply just over a week later. I have only just seen it.

Thanks to the people at The Bull 105.9!

A new logging

 Conditions have been a bit up and down of late. I recently installed a new EWE pointing more or less south east. as a result I have been hearing some South Americans, particularly in Argentina and Uruguay.

I will post a list of my loggings for April shortly. 

In the meantime I was very pleased to hear Radio Uuruguay last evning broadcasting on 1050 kHz. They were playing a programme of jazz music and at times were heard at quite good levels. There was no sign of the station I normally hear on that frequency, KTCT in California.

I have sent a report off as well as a short recording, so hopefully something may come of it.

A new verie

 A verie has come in from CDNK on 7580. This comes out of Uzbekistan, broadcasts in Korean and is destined for North Korea. The verie was signed by J from the Republic of Korea and the email address was thfskan54@gmail.com

I recorded the programme at 1359 for the opening and it registered S9 here in NZ.
