Here's an example of what I've experienced. First, back in the early
1980s, during the height of the Cold War, my wife and I spent 6 weeks in
New Zealand. All I brought along was a tiny analogue Sony SW portable.
With only the whip, Radio Liberty came booming in, at local level. That
was a head-scratcher, as back in Canada, it was a real DX target, and
always battling Soviet jamming. There wasn't a hint of the latter in New
Zealand. Poking around a globe, I realized that all signals from Spain
(the former site of most of the RL transmitters to the FSU were located)
were heading towards me at the antipode in New Zealand. Another example
was in Maui. In the late afternoon, Radio Botswana on 60 meters would be
very well heard with a simple length of wire. Again, the Hawaiian Islands
are approximately antipodal to that region of southern Africa. 73, Walt

AUSTRIA  and  NEW ZEALAND in 22 mband.
ORF on 13730 kHz very bad CLASH mixture at their requested 11-12 UT slot
audio quality suffers here in Europe and Asia;
NZ Pacific occupied now also 13730 kHz extensively in 06.59 to 12.58 UT slot
NZL dxers please inform Adrian about this clash,
I've no functioning e-mail address of AS at hand.

Subject: Re: ORF 13730 underneath of NZ Rangitaiki in Asia co-channel
In B-22 season ORS Vienna Moosbrunn had been rent / requested
13730 kHz at 11 to 12 UT time slot,
but now R NZ Pacific joined
on bad co-channel MIXTURE too
on very same channel,
It is unfortunate a NZ against ORS wave battle.
re 13730 NZ'er Adrian has got it all wrong,
there are numerous free 22 mb channels to request;
also 13660 and 13840 kHz channels requested alternatively
in hfcc.org organization
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen
now Adrian has occupied ORS channel 13730 kHz at 06.59 to 12.58 UT
in total.
I will activate the connection to NZL and point that co-channel
matter out.

Hello Wolfgang,
After our phone conversation last Sunday,
I did some monitoring on 13730 kHz from my QTH.
Radio New Zealand is already active here before 11:00 UTC.
At 11:00, RÖI/OE1 joins in with the midday journal.
Depending on the propagation conditions, there is a wave battle,
sometimes both more or less equally strong,
sometimes one of the two is relatively or absolutely dominant -
this can change within a few minutes in one direction or the other.
Certainly, with the many free frequencies in the 13 MHz 22mb band,
one can ask whether there would be no alternative possibilities.
Interesting the propagation conditions around noon on the
13 MHz 22mb band when ORF came in strong and undisturbed
on 13730 kHz for a short time on 8 November.
