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.

India comes calling

 Back in January (3rd to be precise) I logged AIR vioa Bengaluru on 15030 - not a difficult catch. I received a QSL card today, which was dated 14/6/2023. So, for an emailed report, it took them 6 months to process it! Anyway, I am grateful - the verie has arrived.

More SW Veries

 I am not hearing much that is new on MW at present, although I did hear a Peruvian recently. However, on SW I heard a few things. 

Radio Ifrikya FM comes in well at around 2315 on 13590 and 13790. I logged it on June 25 at 2330 UTC and the verification came back via Facebook Messenger on June 27. 

It is also a new country for me. I thought I had verified Algeria years ago, but a check has revealed I haven't, and so it is country no. 115 for me.

The station was heard on The NZ Radio DX League's SDR2 located here in Mangawhai. I had a listenon SDR3 based in Hinahina (ion the deep south) but the signal was poor.
