Heard the same broadcast this morning Bill. Was surprised at the signal strength. Will have to turn on the receiver early more often! Also heard CY9C from St.Paul Island in Canada.
ReplyDeleteMan, dem bottlez! Is this the origin of the expression for someone having strength as having 'bottle"? :)
ReplyDeleteJust noticed: 7245 UTC? Surely kHz? :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the NZ place names. Really exotic. The rivers especially.
ReplyDeleteMost rivers are named for incidents in the voyages of Maui, the Maori version of the Christian Adam. He mythically used the South Island as his canoe (with Stewart Island as anchor-stone) while fishing up the North Island from the deep.
DeleteMaori, a very mellow language. The consonants b,d,f,g,j,l,q,s,v,x,y, and z are missing or softened, every syllable ends with a vowel.
