Out of the stations that share this frequency, Auckland is the only one I've ever copied. It turns out that Honolulu is off the air until next year, but I'm pretty sure they were on when I first came across this one last year sometime. Anyway, Auckland can generally always be heard on this frequency at :20 and :50 of any hour where there's a full dark path between tx and my qth. But strange enough, the Australian stations VMC Charleville and VMW Wiluna, at 6507 and 6230 respectively, both come in better. I assume that the direction of the transmitting antennas for each station play a role in that.
