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 Shortwave Verie

 Nothing terribly special about this QSL, but it is Radio NZ International heard on 7245 kHz. Thanks to Adrian Sainsbury for the QSL.

A Shortwave Verie

 VOA have replied for a report on their transmission on 6080 kHz via Botswana in English. The broadcast was heard on August 10 and the verie received this morning. The address the report was sent to was QSL@usagm.gov

Another Verie

 KSHO 920 kHz in Lebanon, Oregon was heard on August 21 at 0907 UTC, 9.07 pm NZ time. It is a 1 kw station and it poked its head up through the noise for about 20 minutes with a few tunes I was able to identify.

Charlie Eads, President and General Manager was kid enough to verify the report. I also had an email from James Wright, a Marketing Consultant, who had been in NZ for a couple of years as a Mormon missionary: a lovely man and a lovely email.
