I have just had miserable reception of RNZI during the B-20 season.  It had always been received great here in the early morning (900-1300 utc) but not a trace on 6115 or 11725 for the most part this fall/winter.  I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Saturday Night (morning here) Request program and Sunday Night music show.

      Hi Ct Yankee - I've seen reports from the US before.
 New Zealand was so unreachable for years on my QTH (and on my previous hardware) that I wasn't looking for them. Today I am simply shocked by the signal level.
