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.

Hinahina Day 3

Day 3 was about getting out and about. Steven and I jumped in his car at 7.30 and headed 3 hours north to Central Otago - Queenstown and environs. I had a couple of wineries I needed to visit for work - they supply our shop. We added another for good meaure. We had lunch in Arrowtown, now alas over commercialised and spoiled by the tourists. For those who don't know it, Arrowtown is a heritage village dating back to the gold mining days in the 1860s.

I am focusing on this aspect of the day because the evening wasn't great.  The only South Americans to be heard were Peruvians with the addition of Radio Maria in Lima on 580. This was identified by the internet stream. The American stations had returned - no sign the evening before. The incoming signals from all of them were not strong enough to override the locals on the 9 kHz spacings as they had been on evening 2.
