Radio New Zealand is off the air on 15,720 again
New Zealand seems to have a continuing problems on 15,720. The station
is not on the air again on this frequency. Just a few minutes ago around the 04:35 UTC time frame a carrier with no audio came up for a minute and that has been it so far this evening. This seems to be a recurring problem and it often means that they will be missing on 11,820 when they switch to that at 04:59 UTC. Sometimes they do show up on 11,820 and sometimes they don't show up until 07:06 UTC on 9,885. I sent them an email last time and they said it was due to regular maintenance. Got a carrier now with no audio at 04:43 UTC at the expected signal level for New Zealand at this time. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

I checked back at 06:35 UTC and they were on the air with a fine signal so some time between 05:15 and 06:35 they came on the air. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Around 3:10 UTC it was S5-S7 and zero background noise. It was strange tuning it in, as I turned on the radio and thought 15 MHz was dead. No noise, just signals. RNZI was there, but I was setting up to tape RA so I didn't bother with a signal check. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |

The fact that they're denying the problem probably means that they don't have the wherewithal to fix it, likely due to budget cuts. Shortsighted govts all over the world are cutting SW budgets. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

They also had some pretty serious weather down there. One area was reported to get 1/2 meter (20 inches) of rain in 36 hours. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |
