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.

Monday 18 April 2022

Hinahina Day 2

 Day 2 belonged to the Peruvians. That is what we almost exclusively heard. The powerhouse La Mega 1470 kHz made an appearance at 0410 - 2 and a half hours before darkness. 

We heard the ones from the previous night but plenty of others as well, viz. del Pacifico 640, Victoria 780, Pachamama 850, Union 880, Panamericana 960, Cielo 1010, Bienestar 1360, La Mega 1470, Santa Rosa 1500, Bethel and Carraviz 1570. In addition there was a station on 1190 - possibly USGC in Guayaquil, although just as likely a Peruvian and another on 1520 playing Andean music. I couldn't get an id.

It was enticing stuff, if a little pedestrian for my host who has these before.

The loggings are:
