A big day of DX so far and it's only early afternoon as I type. Quite a few of the NZ registered 1 bar on the Sony XDR unit.  I got recordings of 4 stations all with IDs.  Will put these on the web in due time. Meanwhile time for lunch, this is hungry (and thirsty) work! ;)

UPDATE: I have now added audio of several NZ catches.  Simply click on the highlighted text to hear.
