Ozy Radio
« on: November 19, 2017, 1456 UTC »
AUSTRALIA. 5045, Ozy Radio, 1126-1241 UTC, Nov 19.
Several news segments; variety of Aussie songs; 1154
played one of my favorites, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down
Sport" by Rolf Harris and at 1236, just after the news,
played "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, who indeed at
one time did emigrate to Australia. A very rare day for
me to hear Craig's station so well. My audio of the Ozy
music at http://goo.gl/k7s95Y  .

Ron, listening in San Francisco, at Ocean Beach

They seem to be a lot stronger in signal strength over here since the return to air.  Maybe the transmitter power has increased or antenna improvements made.

Ozy Radio is currently 30dB to 40dB over nine here at 0755z on 5.045MHz AM, probably around 200kms away on the other side of the mountain from my location. 

Was a lot weaker when it first came on air some months back.

It also looks like they have dropped their "100% Australian music" content too, just heard Elanor Rigby by the Beatles (UK) and Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz (New Zealand). ;)

Was able to copy the carrier at various times here in Florida with my PL-600 and both its whip antenna and with a Sangean Ant-60 wire, which is more than I’ve ever had at home. But no audio unfortunately.
