2017-08-17 Thread d1028gary
Some unusually strong Australian signals joined the NZ regulars during the recent Rockwork 4 DXpedition, including 585-2WEB, 585-7RN and 639-5CK. Some low-powered Kiwi stations like 531-More FM and 936-Chinese Voice also managed their best-ever signals at the cliff, as well as the NZ regulars
