Re: [IRCA] ABC 6NM 1215khz Northam, Western Australia

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

I sent NewsTalk ZB a clip and I am going to assume they listened to because
of the wording of their reply to me.

I never assumed necessary this was a weather forecast per se but part of a
sports report of some kind... I am really beginning to think this is 4HI..

Multiple people have said this isnt an NZ Accent
I will find an answer to this, by golly!!
