Radio Australia coming in S10 on 21740 today at 22:10 UTC. Good
listening everyone.


I'm getting very good signals on 6020 and 9580 at 1200 to 1400 or so UTC
for
the past week These are different broadcasts.

I almost never listen to them on 6020.

I usually listen to them on:

21740
17795
15515
13630
9580

The other frequencies usually do not do as well.

I'm listening to them on 15515 right now.

So far today I have listened to Japan, radio Netherlands and Australia.
I will be listening to BBC and New Zealand soon.

I get the BBC very well every local evening here until 0500 UTC on 5975 then
6005 (signal for Africa). RN is from Sackville until I think 0530 and very
loud. I used to listen to NZ, is there some good programming these days?
I sometimes pick up CRI (China) as well. I found Japan a novelty like NZ (a
little folksy). But Australia is my morning show (their evening).

I've often wondered why different freq for different people and more and
more I think its nature of equipment as the main issue, when the listeners
are on the same continent.

BBC on 5975 is very good here also in addition they have strong signals
on various frequencies evenings on the 31 and 25 meters bands for me at
least on the west coast.

I can't think of any particular programs right now on NZ that I like
other than the news. Usually my time listening to them is either news or
commentary on the world news. Then there is the pacific regional news
coverage that seems to me at better than what you would get from
Australia. Australia seems to have plenty to talk about concerning
itself.

Well, a lot of people appear to depend on non resonant antennas and so
what comes in well for them could in fact be a direct result of their
antenna system. If you use a resonant antenna then the expected behavior
is of course known.
