Gary:
As Tony Ward from Toronto mentioned last week, Norfolk runs RNZ National
overnight (supposedly till 1930 UT so way after your reception period).
And no, World TV has never activated 1566 in Wellington which they
picked up at auction a couple of years back. The planned power has
always been listed at a strange 15.3/15.8 kW depending on the source of
the information.
I checked with the Kiwi SDR near Nelson at ~1520 UT and what appeared to
be 3NE was dominant, with talk about the Commonwealth and NZ... not sure
why... but it wasn't // with RNZ Nat/567. Someone else was really weak
and scratchy underneath; I didn't attempt to figure whether it could be
Norfolk or ABC Gympie in Queensland.

In the Cook Islands there never was a problem with transoceanic DX being too weak-- the problem was that it was too strong, and from too many areas at the same time. In this 1566 kHz MP3 recorded at 1641 UTC on April 12th the Oz mega-pest 3NE is apparently in a fade, but that only seems to bring in a couple of other DU English stations in an S9 mix (along with a third station, apparently in Chinese). Does anyone know what Norfolk Island's current format is, and does anyone know if the new 3 kW (Chinese?) station is now broadcasting in Wellington? This MP3 apparently features two government-type programs (RNZ and/or ABC) mixing together, with the third station in apparent Chinese in the background (don't know if this would be HLAZ, or the new Wellington?). Can anybody sort out this zoo? https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/hysvrh4f7i8u16f3740ch5azam0iervx
