If using a good portable SW radio, what frequencies can
I hope to get for Radio Australia and RNZI during the local
late afternoon through evening hours?

UTC 2100 - 0400 approximately

I get RA 9580kHz really well during local early morning hours
and RNZI 9885 was coming in great this morning. I want to hear
them at night (my time) also.

For RNZI, try 15720 near the end of your time block.

For RA, GOOD LUCK ;-(. The best bet is 17795 at 23:00-02:00.
For the summer, 21740 might have got you a signal, 22:00
to 00:00. Now, probably not. 15515 is variable and weak.
And 15240 has a lot of interference from the Chinese on 15235.
And I never find a decent signal on 12080 when I try.

They've got a new (October 2005) .pdf file available for download
that has time schedules for each target region. In this case,
North America uses the Central/South Pacific.

Well, time to gripe. Monday night I found that 15240 was coming in
reasonably well. But, starting just this week, they've split their
schedule so that there's a Pacific schedule and an Asian Schedule.
And on the Pacific Schedule, their 04:00 hour, which used to be solid
stuff like "The Science Show", and "Background Briefing", is now their
frothy "In The Loop" show aimed at the Pacific island youth audience.
Just what I want to hear, Pacific Island Hip Hop. BLEHHHHHHCCCHH.

So, for many of my favorite programs, there's only one airing to the
Pacific. And if they've got a rugby or cricket game, they're going to
get dumped that week. That's one way for them to boost their Podcast
experiment...

Anyway, the detailed transmission schedule is at
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pdf/frequency.pdf

Their "week on one page" program schedule .pdf hasn't been updated yet.
If you're fetching the web page program schedule, they only have one US
time zone(EST), so it's often less brain bending to get the UK schedule
in GMT.
