[HCDX] Myster from New Zealand..

["Gloria R. Lalumia" <grlnj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Monday morning 11/24at 0615 UTC (Sunday night 11/23 here in New Mexico) 
I decided to play around with my little $10 Bell and Howell SW radio.  I 
picked up a very strong signal of what was a BBC broadcast that I heard 
earlier --so I thought I had the BBC. A station id broke in for 
"National Radio". Intrigued, I listened all the way to 0700 and beyond, 
and found out that this was National Radio from New Zealand!   It was 
around 15600 on the analog dial of the B & H.

While listening I tried to find this station on my Grundig YB400PE. I 
tried my two longwire antennas (each about 50 ft running NS and EW with 
coax feeds)) then the shorter one (about 22' with an alligator to the 
whip).  Well, I couldn't bring this station in on the Grundid with with 
any of my antennas! Meanwhile, it's blasting away on the little B & H!

I've been having very poor luck with getting RNZI since the schedule 
change and Australia is only now coming back.  So I was VERY surprised 
to get National Radio from NZ! I checked the website and it does seem 
that this indeed is what I heard last night.

I really don't know the exact frequency, however, since the B&H has only 
the broadly  marked analog tuning.  
Could anybody lend some insight into this National Radio 
frequency....and the weird conditions that enabled me to hear this and 
yet get either very poor or no signal out of RNZI (which used to come in 
like gangbusters!)...  and also, not be able to pick up National Radio 
on the Grundig??

Thanks,
Gloria
