Re: [IRCA] 531 UnID Australians-- Oz English Translator Needed



Thanks Theo, 
 
531-4KZ was apparently logged about five times during the five day visit to Rockwork 4, giving 531-PI a real fight for the frequency. 2PM still hasn't shown up in any recordings, though. 
 
We could have used your help on the "Kiwi Cliff"-- those NZ accents can be pretty tough to decipher (especially when a little sleep deprivation is thrown in :-)

The only clip I can understand anything substantive is #2, opening with 
standings for some sort of sports league, then comes the time check for 
"four and-a-harf parst ten" and a "Macquarie (what?) news" extro.. 

After the commercial; there a lengthy weather round-up for a bunch of 
north Queensland locations, including Cairns (sounds like "Kens" to a 
Nth American ear) and Townsville with temps in the mid-20's Celsius. 

So that clip at least would point to 4KZ.

What I hear for the locations doesn't match up with towns around Innisfail or Kempsey.The programming aligns with 4KZ but I can't hear a real ID.
