Australia is very weak for me today on 13,630 and RNZI has been going on
and off the air so far on 13,730 today. RNZI has been better than RA
when they are actually on the air.

I expect the reception of both stations to be much better later on today.
They were both received here with much stronger signals yesterday.

Yes, currently RNZI very good on 15,720 and RA is also very good on
17,795.

RA is usually better on 17,715 than 17,795 around now but I'm not sure
when they actually start on 17,715. Maybe in a half hour or hour from
now.
