<<< Do you know why the tower was destroyed Gary? >>> The video link was from Dene Lynneberg on Facebook, but recently David Ricquish posted about the tower's rusty and unsafe condition, leading to an NZ government decision to demolish it. Before the demolition it was the second tallest structure in NZ, according to the NZ reports. I remember that 567-RNZ was the only NZ station that Gary Deacon had ever managed to receive in South Africa, a notoriously difficult propagation path. The fact that the South Africans have received quite a few Vancouver and Seattle MW stations shows how difficult it is, by comparison. Gary

And irony of ironies, youtube presumably harvests your browsing history, so there are suggestions for other videos in which you might be interested....lots of SDR stuff in mine...but, hold on, there is something from ABS-CBN news there in Tagalog. Two mornings ago, I logged DYAB, with an ABS-CBN ID....but I didn't look anything up on the internet. Hmmm, will have to talk to the SpectraVue people about whether they are harvesting my listening preferences, hi. Nothing about DYAB there though, just about some Filipina star being on some list of the most beautiful women in the world. Well, maybe DXing can wait... best wishes, Nick At 03:20 16-02-16, you wrote: >It's been a bad couple of years for "Big Gun" >Kiwi MW stations.
