« on: July 10, 2016, 1707 UTC »

Fair signal on both frequencies.  It appears they are doing a two hour pre-match special.  Haven't said yet whether they are covering match at 1900z.  These frequencies are generally off the air by 2000z, halftime.

1700z News
1706z Sportsworld begins pre-match coverage.  "Less than two hours until match in Paris"
1707z "The Euro 2016 Finals Live on the BBC"  Maybe they are doing coverage.
1745z  OM and YL talking about starting XI's, signal on 17830 significantly clearer now.
1751z 2 OM's on how to defend Ronaldo.
1758z Returning in 30 minutes time with match build up.

0008z Nothing here right now, unusual as that is a very easy frequency for me to pick up broadcasters.

PS - On a side note, I just walked in the door from seeing the Mets spank the Cubbies.  The Mets had more hits today than they normally have in a month.

Shortwave Broadcast / RNZI 9700 AM 0852 UTC 1 July 2016

« on: July 01, 2016, 0902 UTC »

Faint, a lot of noise.  I report this only because as of today, RNZI is going to only 1 transmitter switching between digital and analog - thus less shortwave broadcasts directly to listeners.

0852z  Quite faint - OM barely audible over noise but on the air.  (Signal from Radio Australia also fairly weak right now)
