Looks like NZ is continuing to have problems with its transmitter. I
have been listening to 13730 for hours and they have been missing in
action on that frequency. They just came on at 02:48 UTC today and I'll
see how long that lasts. They should have been there since 22:36 UTC
from yesterday.

Maybe I have should have mentioned that we are currently having a
Geomagnetic storm with Kp 5 at one point but that does not seem to be
impeding my reception of NZ or Australia. The 02:48 UTC was a crash
start with a no signal to S6-S8 levels.

I did notice some pretty bad fading from USA east coast stations earlier
today on the 17 MHz band. At the same time Australia was very good on
17715 and weak on 17795. After Australia switched to frequencies on the
15 MHz band they have been good. Currently listening to them on 15515
and NZ on 13730. The NZ DRM signal on 15720 and the AM signal on 13730
are about the same S6-S9 and Australia is around S9.

I have a good signal on Australia 12080, 13670, 15240, and 15515 but no
sign of RNZ on 13730 at 04:15 UTC. They must be having more transmitter
trouble.

Never did hear them on 13730 this evening but I have them on 9615 at
05:50 UTC.

Looks like they finally fixed their transmitter. I listened to the
entire segment 22:36 to 4:58 on 13730 with a good signal over S9 today.
