RNZI 5945 am 1051 utc 11 Apr 2020
« on: April 11, 2020, 1055 UTC »
Very good reception, was not going to post this broadcaster again because of the regularity that I have.  But they are playing one of the greatest songs of all time so post is warranted.  The Left Banke's use of the Lydian mode in its melody (pre-dating The Beatles use) with an oboe over the instrumental portion and a string quartet makes it a true work of art.

1051 "Pretty Ballerina"  The Left Banke.  ;D. As this is a request program, let me thank whoever wanted that play.  (Too bad RNZI didn't follow it up with "Walk Away Renee")
1054 Unid soft rock
1100 Time pips to news (Covid 19 in NZ lead story), briefly off air during news
1105 More soft rock
1111 Genre continues
1114 "Something" The Beatles (or a single Beatle)  - Great playlist to the moment
1117 OM soft rock tune
1135 "Break Down" Extended live version Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
1147 Significant fades  :(, its about to go

It seems the signal remained good after the antenna direction change at 1100. Too bad that's just too early for me here most Saturdays.

It seems like it wasn't just a one off on April 11.  Very good reception at 1110 utc on April 12 with, appropriately, Church Hymn music.  Happy Easter!
