RNZI 7425 am 1010 am 30 July 2017 - no antenna switch again
« on: July 30, 2017, 1023 UTC »
Very good reception

1010z 2OM's and YL discussing aspects of podcasts in journalism
1030z Investigative report on financial wrongdoings of corporation
1042z Unid "airy" song OM singer
1045z Human Interest Feature - interview/story
1100z Time pips to news, no antenna switch again.
1105z Guitar instrumental music lead into segment introduction by YL then church choir music
1120z Choir music continues, YL speaking in between pieces
1145z Signal fading just over noise - YL and OM talking, some non-choir music.  I emailed RNZI to ask whether the antenna switch at 1058z is a thing of the past.

I was up at 1230 UTC (6:30 am local) and observed the same - a nice strong signal that sounds like the 35° beam. When it switched to 6170 at 1259z, it was not as good a signal.
