Great going Gary, and thanks Chuck, The timeline for any change is of the order of months probably, and perhaps resisted by Rhema. I have been to the site twice now. My late brother Chris who passed away in December was Scientist for DOC based in Gisborne and we visited the area for its fascinating Geology several times and wonderful coastal landforms (among my own research interests). from Feb - June we were in NZ, and travelled 12000 km in both (but mainly South) Island, but it has been too hectic since our return to report so far.
Rhema’s single mast is easily enough visible on Google Earth’s (current) 2011 imagery at 39d05m53-2s South, 177d 57m 10S east, and overlooks the sea from an elevation of about 88 metres. It gets out a lot better than Ngati Poru radio I can tell you. 531 from Auckland, now on the Henderson antenna site with many other stations, two masts, gets out very well throughout NZ. I will get organized and post some antenna images. Delighted to find Radio National Napier still using the old flat-top (dipole) I remember photographing as a kid about 65 years ago… Tony Ward (VE3NO) http://www.nyaa.ca Loss of Net neutrality would sure change the game of tennis! > On Jul 6, 2016, at 8:23 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Tony and Chuck, > > 684-Rhema sounded pretty healthy this morning around 1231 with its Christian > contemporary music // 594 (during the onset of a Kiwi propagation surge).
