Radio Australia/New Zealand broadcasts
I'm located in Calgary, Alberta at about 51 N and 114 W. I've noticed that
I can often copy Radio Australia and Radio New Zealand International all throughout the night, even up to 15 mhz sometimes. Shouldn't broadcasts above about the 49 m band be very hard to hear at night? Sometimes I can get broadcasts that seem intended for a domestic audience in Australia or New Zealand. I'm wondering why I can hear these at all. I'm using a Sangean ATS-803a with a 20 foot horizontal wire fed through a balun and 75 ohm coax. I've noticed that Radio NZI and Radio Australia don't seem to be scaling back broadcasts like their European counterparts are. I'm wondering why this is. My best guess is the sparse population and large area of Australia makes these broadcasts more useful, as for New Zealand, I'm guessing the Pacific islands? I was using the Ilgradio schedule with Scan320DB, but the B04's still aren't out and the A04's are showing their age. Is there another source for a quality schedule, or a better database program to use? Thanks for any info. |
