AIB member Radio New Zealand International is back on shortwave. And to prove just how far the broadcasts from such a small broadcaster can reach, good reception was noted on 11820 kHz in the south of France.
The shortwave transmitter had been off the air since Saturday 30 August. The station’s web site reported: “Spare parts have arrived and we are back on the air. The transmitter is still under test but we hope our service has now returned to normal”.
RNZI has now ended its temporary relays over a transmitter leased from Radio Australia. In common with other international broadcasters, RNZI makes its seasonal schedule changes on Sunday 26 October. The current and new schedules can be found on the RNZI web site.
