Sv: [HCDX]: New Zealand log

["ANKER PETERSEN" <anker.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I received an e-mail from my good DX-friend Mark Nicholls in Wellington who wrote at 0140 am local NZL time:

"So far the local radio stations are saying that there has been no problems
reported with power , water , phones etc.

Everything appears to be working in the flat I am staying in. My TV , Radio
(Drake R8 and Sony SW55),
stereo , and of course my computer (though I wasn't expecting any problems
because it is a Macintosh)."

Best 73, Anker (DSWCI)

In a message dated 99-12-31 07:19:20 EST, you write:

<< Radio New Zealand coming in just fine here in Michigan on 6105 kHz from
1115 to 1150 with live coverage of their Y2K rollover. They had various
interviews with correspondents around their county and the Antarctic
bases.  Even determined the first baby of 2000 is a boy from Auckland.

They have no power or telecommunications problems except for jammed-up
international calls due to very high volume (that's understandable). >>


BUT have we heard of any DX reports from Dxers in these areas? Have their 
receivers continued to function (the digital ones with date/time?).
Will these modern marvels of technology survive the Y2K bug, or will they 
start operating on NEGATIVE frequencies?
