0730z "Count on Me" Jefferson Starship
0734z Unid Jazz song, 50's YL singer
0739z OM singer, unid song (Maybe NZ origin) Lullaby-like - speaking of which, break from sleep is over

0755z YL singer unid Opera song
0758z "Moon River" Andy Williams....song cut short at 0800z, time pips, news, weather (To quote the late Mr. Zevon - "I'll sleep when I'm Dead"  ;))

Last night I saw that RNZI's frequency switch at 0459 went to 9700, the frequency they were using earlier in the summer through late July, and not 9630, which it has been using for this time frame since July 28. While mid-season schedule changes aren't unusual for RNZI, this one was NOT on their website, and that is unusual (just like the fact that 7425 is still beaming NE instead of NW for the 1059-1258z time frame).
