If using a good portable SW radio, what frequencies can
I hope to get for Radio Australia and RNZI during the local
late afternoon through evening hours?


They've got a new (October 2005) .pdf file available for download
that has time schedules for each target region. In this case,
North America uses the Central/South Pacific.

Well, time to gripe. Monday night I found that 15240 was coming in
reasonably well. But, starting just this week, they've split their
schedule so that there's a Pacific schedule and an Asian Schedule.
And on the Pacific Schedule, their 04:00 hour, which used to be solid
stuff like "The Science Show", and "Background Briefing", is now their
frothy "In The Loop" show aimed at the Pacific island youth audience.
Just what I want to hear, Pacific Island Hip Hop. BLEHHHHHHCCCHH.

So, for many of my favorite programs, there's only one airing to the
Pacific. And if they've got a rugby or cricket game, they're going to
get dumped that week. That's one way for them to boost their Podcast
experiment...

Anyway, the detailed transmission schedule is at
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pdf/frequency.pdf

Their "week on one page" program schedule .pdf hasn't been updated yet.
If you're fetching the web page program schedule, they only have one US
time zone(EST), so it's often less brain bending to get the UK schedule
in GMT.
