Unlike Gary, I had quite a few Australians plus a bit from Japan,
South Korea and China. But Australia was the king of all for me.
Here's a short clip of 3NE 1566 at the best level ever. The ad
string went on forever at this level.

> Hello All,
>
> New Zealand signals went on a rampage at the Rockwork 4 ocean
cliff this morning from 1250-1320 UTC, bringing astonishment to
three fanatical Puget Sound DXers (Chuck, Tom and I) who were lucky
enough to show up on this date. Although I had already experienced
25 DU-DXing sessions at this awesome site, the potent Kiwi
propagation this morning was a stunner-- even for me.

> Tom R. was waiting in his vehicle as I drove up in the total
darkness at 1145 UTC, followed shortly thereafter by Chuck. We had
the entire turnoff to ourselves, and were each able to set up our
antennas exactly as we desired (without working around "sleeping
squatters"). Propagation took a while to kick into high gear, and
as late as 1230 it seemed like an average mix of NZ and Oz might be
the order of the day. Suddenly around 1240 the floodgates to New
Zealand swung wide open, and stations like 603-Waatea, 675-RNZ,
702-Magic and 765-Kahungunu (2.5 kW) were soon testing the crunch
resistance of my $50 C.Crane Skywave Ultralight (boosted somewhat
by a 17" Mega-FSL antenna). Chuck came over and remarked how he was
getting a DU carrier on every 9 kHz split frequency he tried,
including the X-band up to 1701 kHz. Tom was also checking Kiwi
carrier strength at the time, and seemed awestruck at the
situation. I was tuning around like mad, recording S9+ signals on
567, 702, 738 an
d 765, as well as potent ones on other frequencies. After
propagation fizzled out around 1340 we gathered around to discuss
the experience-- feeling something like the winning football team
in the Super Bowl. Chuck remarked about how I should post Kiwi
signal MP3's from the session-- as if I needed any additional
motivation to do so!
