1012 Unid rock music
1016 OM talking after song to wispy OM singer, Elvis Costello?
1029 Lengthy unid hard rock piece
1034 Lengthy Piano/rockabilly tune, OM talks in between tunes but hard to comprehend between reception and accent
1043 OM singing Blues song
1052 "Ring of Fire" Unid cover, not Johnny Cash
1056 Traditional piano blues piece
1100 Time pips to news
1107 News continues but reception fading as dawn approaches (local sunrise 1138 utc today)

This change took effect last week - I forgot to check before I let the recorder go and missed the last hour of RNZ Saturday Night Requests as a result. Currently playing back my recording now, was quite surprised that it was copyable between 0600 and 0800 on 13730 kHz, perhaps a little bit better than it was on 11725 (right now I'm at 0808 UTC on the recording). Hopefully 9700 was good, I'll know in a couple of hours.
