This change took effect last week - I forgot to check before I let the recorder go and missed the last hour of RNZ Saturday Night Requests as a result. Currently playing back my recording now, was quite surprised that it was copyable between 0600 and 0800 on 13730 kHz, perhaps a little bit better than it was on 11725 (right now I'm at 0808 UTC on the recording). Hopefully 9700 was good, I'll know in a couple of hours.
