4KZ 5055 & Bay Islands Radio 5045 0830-0915UTC Mar 7th
« on: March 07, 2023, 0944 UTC »
I logged two Aussie Shortwave outlets in Alaska tonight between 0830 and 0915UTC  March 7th. 

I had Paul Karlstrand engineered, Al Kirton operated 4KZ 5055khz progressively getting better as I approached 0900UTC.  Pretty decent signal!!

I also had what should be Bay Islands Radio on 5045khz but while i dont have internet at my DX spot, I have my cell phone and was texting with a friend who had the stream for Bay Islands Radio up and what I had didn't match the stream. as I got past 0900UTC, 5045 got REAL good!!

Hi Paul - Greetings from California!

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Bay Islands Radio. Since their recent return here, they have been having some amazingly
decent receptions for a low powered station; audio nicely above threshold level, so I was able to ID many of the
older songs that were playing non-stop.

March 15 - Another day with no IDs, PSAs, etc., so seems to not be a Island FM relay; 1139+ UT, with over an
hour of non-stop enjoyable listening to a wide variety of older songs; Animals - "Don't let me be Misunderstood,"
Emilie-Claire Barlow - "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," Hall and Oates - "Rich Girl," Dean Martin - "Memories
Are Made of This," Helen Reddy - "I Am Woman," Andrews Sisters - "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," Betty Everett &
Jerry Butler - "Let It Be Me," Nat King Cole - "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons," Seals and Crofts - "Diamond
Girl," Elvis Presley - "Little Sister," etc.

My audio at 1149, Frank Sinatra - "All the Way" -  https://app.box.com/s/bh5ltunwu6d6uwn0o0v6w9v2n7h0t2xz .

Here is 5045khz from Tue. Mar 7th at 0909UTC:

4KZ 5055 starts out kind of weak but gets progressively/noticeably stronger as time goes on. As if there was any doubt this was 4KZ, at 28 minutes there's a news sponsor liner for a business in Innisfail then the VO guy says, "National News on 4 Kay Zed" with the news intro music leading into the female anchor. This was recorded shortly after 5045khz

Here's my audio:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XKswvgJxUjV76EuoSXxwyoCmlWiDEzgw/
