Don't know what it was like earlier, but barely visible (on Spectran) 
let alone hearable carrier on 1215 at 0730UT...then I realized it was 
not being heard on the northerly Flag (usually the best
TA antenna), only the westerly one, which pretty much rules out TAs I 
would think.  Only problem is, the position of the terminator says 
this would then be a 2kw New Zealander...

Several minutes later, the situation reversed, now just a carrier on 
the north Flag;  had the presence of mind (rare these days) to note 
the frequency, then the "other" carrier showed on the west Flag 
again, nearly 2 Hz higher.   So yes, maybe a bit of a visit from TA's 
down here.  2kw New Zealanders, now that's ridiculous, though 738 is 
showing an excellent carrier with maybe just a hint of audio.

best wishes,

Nick
