Thanks LG!

Got all those.  The only NZ left for me to log is BE 394; never had any luck with that.

Likewise, BE 394KHz Berridale never been heard this way and been looking for it every time band is open to NZ, took me two or more years to log 226KHz KK Kerikeri too, and only a border line copy for about 30 seconds then gone!

Managed to log 201KHz WK Waikabubak in Indonesia for a new one but hard work to eventually get it out, was flicking between two receivers constantly, it was on fringe of approaching Grey Line, just a few hours earlier I logged three Chinese stations on Medium Wave so propagation was favouring SE Asia at the time.

Been looking for the high powered beacon in Hawaii and the other one in American Samoa (TUT) but proving to be hard catches.  One day! 8)
