21:00 to 21:30 UTC I'm not getting NZ on 15720 KHz at all.

From the RNZI site:

05 Feb, 2006 19:34 UTC We regret we have a fault at the
transmitter. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Well that explains the no reception on NZ. I will have to keep an
ear on there channel to see when they return. Reception on 15720
has been weak of late and I though it was was just a propagation
problem. Thanks for the tip.

Not sure when they got their problem fixed but they are currently
audible here at 1600 on 9870.

I listened for a while yesterday on 17675 from 22:36 UTC onward for a
few hours and never heard them. Checking back on 15720 I kept seeing a
carrier go on and off with no audio so I don't know if that was them or
not working on the transmitter.

I also heard them this morning on 9870 and they sounded OK.

They were supposed to switch over to 17675 KHz at 22:36 UTC but I don't
hear them there. However I have seen a carrier coming up and down on
15720 several times since that switchover time.

Up here in Seattle, Wednesday at 01:38 UTC, RNZI is an adequate S2
on 17675, R. Aus on 17795 is a pretty good S5.

Currently 00:27 UTC Australia is best on 17715. 17795 and other
frequencies on lower bands are much weaker.

Interesting. On Saturday, 2/4, 17785 was good at 22:00 and 17795 was good
at 23:00. (They've moved Correspondent's Report/Innovations/Background
Briefing forward an hour for the Sunday/Saturday in N.Am. broadcast).

Have you checked out the new schedule. There's a number of programs that
they've dropped from the Pacific track and only broadcast to Asia, now.
They get a bunch of 15 minute programs (In Conversation, Ockham's Razor,
The Ark, Lingua Franca), and some of the more Austral-Centric discussion
programs (National Interest, Counterpoint), and Life Matters, whatever
it is. While we (for the Pacific transmissions) get the frothy chatter
shows (In the Loop, Breakfast Club). Time to hit their podcast page.
And the Science Show is now at 16:00 UTC on Sunday.

I'll have to take a look at the new schedule.

I really like their program where people call in and talk about current
events. The voice of the average Australian. Australia Talks Back.
