The NZ Radio DX League is 70 years old this year and members from throughout New Zealand and 2 from Australia are congregating for a celebration convention and listening sessions at Mangawhai, on the Pacific Coast 60 miles north of Auckland between 6 and 9 April. Channel Z and Radio Illuminati have already indicated they will have transmissions to coincide with our gathering.
We hope others will be on air as well, and we will be monitoring the 6900 - 7000 kHz range between 0500 and 0700 UTC on Saturday 7 April and Sunday 8 April - that's between 1am and 3am EDT on those dates.
Last year, on April 1, I was able to log and QSL WHYP 6920, XEROX 6929 and WREC 6960 in this time period, so would be optimistic that some more trans-Pacific DX receptions will be possible this year.
I hope other broadcasters will take up the challenge of broadcastng 'down under' on 7 and/or 8 April. Please contact me at
bryannzrdxl(a)gmail.com if you can confirm any transmissions or planned frequency usage in advance. Thanks guys.

Congratulations on 70 years!
This is a conventional broadcast from Bulgaria that is intended for Eastern Europe but often reaches parts of NZ quite well on the skip:
From the Isle of Music, 9400 KHZ, 1500-1600 UTC Sundays (European date).
This usually comes in quite well on some NZ web SDRs and may be worth a shot for the insomniacs among you ;)
