What was even more rare -- I was up at that hour - Wind was blowing and I needed to close a few windows -- and I thought.. while I am up. 3325 khz was an interesting mix of what I think was Indonesia and PNG (at times in English with what sounded like ABC (Aussie) ads.. With a higher FLAG

As Colin pointed out, this was an Asian morning.also pretty odd for this time of year. My receptions were long gone by 1200UT; I think that the peak was about 1140UT here. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

I bought this about 9 months ago from accomplished DXer, Walt Salmaniw in Vancouver. It works great and has some improved audio filters in it. When I bought it, I could DX from my kitchen with a longwire in my backyard. My location and situation has changed, rendering in home DX impossible. I

Nick: Here's a piece of info - a Google hit and the link does not work. Of course, I wonder if this is the same SNJ as is carried in Australia. I'd kind of lean against it - Coast is rather a middle of the roader. As for why I think SNJ is a Grant thing, I can't remember if I found some thing

Nick: Why worry about what happens after midnight Australia time? 4CC's web site says they carry Saturday Night Jukebox from 6 PM on. Yes, it ends at midnight so that covers your 1206 receptions. 4BU shows no Saturday Night Jukebox at all but as you say they are both Grant Media stations. And

Thanks Theo. It seems possible that 4BU and 4CC (plus relays) could be carrying same program on weekend overnight as they do during the week, but 4BU's website seems very unclear as to what happens on Saturday nights after the witching hour . "Jukebox Saturday Night" seems to be carried by

Wll, highly unlikely to be the Junior Land Down Under even though both 1332 and 1584 are owned by the same outfit -- 1332 is R. Sport -- and 1584 is Coast, and it would be upsetting for the Rest Home Radio folks to be carrying rock rhythms even after midnight local. Over on the West
