As the year changes around the time zones
 

Would anyone like to suggest good stations to listen to (shortwave or
on the web) when the year changes in their time zone? For example, at
1100 GMT there's New Zealand (Summer Time = GMT+13) and at 1500 GMT
Japan.

I'm sure there's a listing of stuff from years past. I'll have to look for it.

You might try Papua New Guinea on 4890... I called in one year during the
festivities.

Most times I make a point to listen to the BBC prior to 0000 and hear the full
strike of Big Ben, one of the rare times they have the full strike broadcast,
and that of course signals the start of the new GMT (UTC) day.

The only other time I can recall the full strike of Big Ben being broadcast in
recent memory is on Remembrance Day when 11 strikes are broadcast.

I generally listen on 5975 most years, but you might want to check the skeds at:

Hopefully they'll continue the tradition. Tune in earlier than 0000 of course.
