An excellent possibility, Bill, which had escaped me.    I've never 
logged anything on 1359 at home, and I thought that 0545UT would be 
too early anyway.  But at this time of year, sunset occurs in New 
Zealand not long after it does here, in fact, a good 40 minutes 
before the carrier was noted.

The strongest station there is 2.5 kw, but it really was a very weak 
het; even after heavy filtering, it was not obvious to the 
ear.  Otherwise, it was just a line on a Spectran display.

Somehow, I don't think they'll QSL on that basis, hi.

But, I think my question has been answered.  Thanks.


best wishes,

Nick
