** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI heard on a new frequency of 6170 (ex 6095) at 1300 UT,
Wednesday, April 16 with a fair signal initially but deteriorated rapidly and
almost gone by 1330. The RNZI website schedule has been changed slightly. 6170
takes effect April 16 (1300 to 1550 UT) and 15720 remains on after 2235 (to
0458) instead of 13840 (Bernie O'Shea, Ottawa, Ontario, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Yes, once again RNZI has made a frequency change without notice, except the
online schedule, still dated to have started 30 March, shows ``from April 16``
6170 instead of 6095 at 1300-1550. 6165-6170-6175 have been the DRM
frequencies, with no DRM during this block, so that`s a quite convenient change
to make, no doubt because of the collision on 6095 we have reported previously,
namely BBCWS in Chinese via Korea South, which MUST be jammed by the Chicom,
and indeed we had been hearing Firedrake there mixing with RNZI, altho usually
RNZI has been well atop here, probably not so in the Pacific target area. Viz.

April 16, but instead 13840 AM at 2236-0158 in between two 15720 AM
transmissions, which seems rather odd, as during that time 15715-15720-15725
switches to DRM. And at 2055 UT I am getting nothing on 15720; some days it
comes in pretty well (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Heard here at 2115 on 15720, though weak.

RNZ does not read their own schedule. I'm listening to them right now
before and after 02:00 UTC and they are still on 13,840 AM where they
should be on 15,720. Yeah the transmitter went down but came right back
up with analog AM on 13,840 at 2:00 UTC. That will probably change in
about another 5 minutes or they could still be on this frequency unit
04:00UTC like most evenings since March 30. Who knows what will happen?

No.

They only have two transmitters and one is DRM. They are not following
their own revised schedule as you read this. Tune them in yourself.
