The Kiwis were definitely on the warpath again this morning as multiple obscure stations had their best session in quite a while (and 738-Magic had its best session ever). The 594-Star duo hit S9, as did 963-Star. Alexandra was especially well represented with a couple of 2 kW stations (531-More FM and 639-RNZ) pounding in at times. Even the "dwarf Star" (576) managed to silence the 50 kW Oz big gun 2RN.
Unfortunately the "sleeping squatters" had once again jammed up Rockwork 4, as well as Rockwork 5. Craig followed me to the relatively large Rockwork 6 turnoff (the one with the highest elevation), and we did our setup at the southern end, as far as possible from several RV's. The transoceanic propagation at Rockwork 6 certainly didn't disappoint, and we had another thrilling session tracking down multiple low powered NZ stations. The notoriously tough 531-More FM cooperated nicely with 3 ID's in 3 minutes at 1247-- a male-voiced ID at 14 seconds, a female-voiced ID at 15 seconds, and another female-voiced ID at 3:26 https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/p2et4xa8e602y0ocbzuongxziw7xafrc
Up until now 531-More FM had only been heard at Rockwork 4 on the west coast, but now it has finally been heard in a new place-- Rockwork 6 :-) More details to follow...
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (DXing at Rockwork 6 with Craig Barnes)
