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

I expect 17675 to be better later and improve through the 22:36 to 3:59
UTC time slot.

The Australian frequencies are better at the highest current broadcast
frequencies during the hour of 21:00 UTC.

From worst to best:
11650 fourth best
11660 third best
12080 worst
13630 second best
15515 the best

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.

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.

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

Yeah and I expect they will tonight if NZ gets their transmitter fixed.

Anybody notice that I'm getting better reception on 17715, which is
meant for Asia and that the 17795 should be better for the USA?

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

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 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.

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.

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.
