** 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.

As for 15720 and 13840, not as Bernie says when I check the site at 2055 UT
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.
