Re: [IRCA] DUs from Grayland, Thursday July 10: KIWI HEAVEN

A big correction to my previous post - Radio Sport and Newstalk ZB are
simulcast 7-8 pm local rather than 8-midnight. I'm not sure how I got
it wrong.... Newstalk ZB and Radio Sport are owned by the same
company, so there would still be the possibility of one network
promoting the other.

But it was the`second best Kiwi morning that I've ever heard. I
started 90 minutes before 1220 dawn and immediately noticed that
there were quite a few Kiwis about and at elevated levels. There
were a few Aussies, at far poorer levels than yesterday and the
now-usual few JJs, also down from yesterday. I really 657//963 was
doing the best of the season at 9 and 7 respectively and then I hit
738. Tahiti's carrier was unbelievably strong... more so than most
locals except for 810 San Francisco. With almost no modulation, it
looked like a tall skinny spike on the display. I could hear a
little audio that sounded French... maybe. Things seemed to switch
back and forth on 738. Sometimes when I'd stop by, it sounded/looked
as described. At other times, 2NR was there at a fair level. I
think that the Tahiti transmitter may be failing, though I was never
listening when if faded or cut out.... It was so strong that I was
pretty sure that the propagation was favoring south.
One of my early stations was a DU EE horse race call at a fairly low
level on 549. The only real suspect is 1kw Radio Trackside from
Napier, NZ... Though there is also a 1kW Radio Sport in Nelson. I'm
gonna report to both and hope that Radio Sport can tell me that it
wasn't them.
According to its website, BSport carries the Trackside Radio Network
(horse racing) from noon to midnight LT. Radio Sport, OTOH runs a
Sportstalk show 8pm to midnight that is also carried on Newstalk ZB.
I'd say you had Trackside.
1287 at 1256UTC. Low level DU EE talk. This might have been 2TM in
Tamworth, but only a few Aussies were in and I SWEAR that I heard a
"Newstalk Zed B" ID!!! The only Kiwi is 3ZW on the SW corner of the
South Island and it is listed as Scenicland FM. I do note that 2TM
is "News Talk 1287" and a heck of a catch at any time, much less 45
minutes after dawn.
I have the 1287 NZ listed as Radio Sport in the current PAL. As
noted above, Radio Sport is // Newstalk ZB until local midnight.
