At about 1238 UTC on Sunday 16th July 2023, I tuned in to Radio New Zealand broadcasting on 7425 kHz in the English language.

The broadcast came from the 50kW transmitter at Rangitaiki on the North Island of New Zealand. The target audience was NW Pacific, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea.

The overall reception of Radio New Zealand was good. There was some interference ‘bleed over’ from China Radio International on 7435 kHz broadcasting in the Chinese language.

Below is a short video of my reception of Radio New Zealand.

At about 1158 UTC on Sunday 16th July 2023, I tuned in to Myanma Radio broadcasting on 5915 kHz in the Burmese language.

The broadcast was coming from the 50KW Naypyidaw transmitter in Myanmar.

The overall reception of Myanmar Radio was poor – fair. There appeared to be an Over The Horizon Radar on the frequency and adjacent frequencies. There was some interference from CNR5 on 5925 kHz. There were static crashes on the band due to local storms in Australia.

Below is a short video of my reception of Myanma Radio.
