Pacific Islands on MW
« on: July 28, 2020, 0639 UTC »
A surprise tune around the band last night:

0945-1015z Monday 27th of July 2020:

0953z  1035KHz  2ZB News Talk Radio, Wellington, New Zealand with "feeding native birds, ring us 0800-80-1080" 5X8 report.
0955z  1044KHz  4ZB News Talk Radio, Dunedin, New Zealand with "ring us now as lines are now open, talk to us New Zealand." 5X6 report.
1008z  1017KHz  A3Z Nuku'alofa, Tonga with traditional village singing. 5X5 report when Australian Sports Radio fades down.
1015z    558KHz  Radio-1 Fiji, Naulu, Fiji, Viti Levu Island with traditional Fijian singing by women and children, no new break at 1000z.  5X5 report.

Very few MW stations remain in the Pacific with most going to the FM band over the years so nice to hear Tonga and Fiji, New Zealand fairly regular here.
