[IRCA] Rockwork 4 DXpedition-- Ultralight Radio loggings (783-1035 kHz)

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

783 Access Radio, Wellington, New Zealand (10kW) Not quite as strong this trip as in previous cliff visits, this moderate signal was received at 1300 on 8-9

792 4RN Brisbane, Australia (25 kW) Dominant over the Kiwi Radio Sport relay except during freakish New Zealand propagation, this RN network big gun was playing exotic string music // 576 in a mix with the American-accented Radio Sport and some domestic splatter at 1335 on 8-10

792 Radio Sport Hamilton, New Zealand (5 kW) Showing up occasionally in a mix with 4RN, it was fairly easy to identify with its Yankee-accented English. Not one of the better Radio Sport performers during this trip

828 3GI Sale, Australia (10 kW) Usually dominant on the noisy frequency over the 2 kW Kiwi, occasionally favorable New Zealand propagation resulted in a pretty equal mix, such as in this recording at 1311 on 8-6

828 TAB Trackside Radio (2 kW) Losing the horse race with Aussie 3GI for most of the trip, but sometimes able to come up with a competitive signal. This wild mix of the two (in domestic splatter) was one of the Kiwi's better moments

936 Chinese Voice Auckland, New Zealand (1 kW) After recent antenna work this 1 kW ethnic station has broadcast excellent signals for its power level-- gaining somewhat of a powerhouse reputation. Here it is giving its best imitation of a Kiwi big gun at 1225 on 8-10-- something that only bizarre ocean cliff propagation could manage.

963 Star Christchurch, New Zealand (10 kW) Although usually weaker than its 657 parallel this Christian hymn broadcaster was on a quieter frequency, resulting in somewhat of a tradeoff in signal quality. This Christian music at 1330 on 8-7 was typical

1008 Newstalk ZB Tauranga, New Zealand (10 kW) Often managing equal signals with its 1035 parallel, this Kiwi talk station was consistently one of the better DU performers. Here it is on 8-10, way over Aussie co-channel 4TAB

1008 4TAB Brisbane, Australia (10 kW) Typically losing the horse race to the Kiwi Newstalk ZB, the sports-oriented Australian station could occasionally make it a competitive match, as in this recording on 8-7 at 1313

**1035 Newstalk ZB Wellington, New Zealand Powerful talk signals were usually the order of the day with this Kiwi big gun, // 1008 and other frequencies. Although the network concentrates on talk and news, it has recently started playing music as well
