1035-Newstalk ZB is one of the most powerful New Zealand big guns, while 1035-SIBC is heard once in a blue moon. You can be fairly certain of dealing with the Kiwi.

This was its monster signal (S9+) at the Rockwork ocean cliff about a year ago https://app.box.com/s/8g5drz0kbarvdfopfrugkxl8rq4u2l0c Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Tromp" <kilok...@gmail.com> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <irca@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2017 9:06:50 AM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & KFMB San Diego, Aug 29 I couldn't find a reference to SIBC's exact frequency and I'm leaning towards 1034.998 being NZ, but I'll defer to the west coast experts. 73, -Tim On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 11:21 AM, Neil Kazaross <neilka...@gmail.com> wrote: > Interesting on 1035, Tim.
