Re: [IRCA] 567-RNZ Tower Bites the Dust

<<<ÂÂ Do you know why the tower was destroyed Gary?ÂÂ >>>ÂÂÂÂÂÂ 
The video link was from Dene Lynneberg on Facebook, but recently David Ricquish posted about the tower's rusty and unsafe condition, leading to an NZÂgovernment decision to demolish it. Before the demolition it was the second tallest structure in NZ, according to the NZ reports. I remember that 567-RNZ was the only NZ station that Gary Deacon had ever managed toÂreceive inÂSouth Africa, a notoriously difficult propagation path. The fact that the South Africans have received quite a few Vancouver and Seattle MW stations shows how difficult it is, by comparison.

Do you know why the tower was destroyed Gary? 

And irony of ironies, youtube presumably harvests 
your browsing history, so there are suggestions 
for other videos in which you might be 
interested....lots of SDR stuff in mine...but, 
hold on, there is something from ABS-CBN news 
there in Tagalog. Â Two mornings ago, I logged 
DYAB, with an ABS-CBN ID....but I didn't look 
anything up on the internet. Â Hmmm, will have to 
talk to the SpectraVue people about whether they 
are harvesting my listening preferences, hi. 

Nothing about DYAB there though, just about some 
Filipina star being on some list of the most 
beautiful women in the world. Â Well, maybe DXing can wait... 

best wishes, 

Nick
