There has been yet another schedshuffle. Per https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen 13690 at 0659-1258 daily and 9700 at 1059-1258 M-F, i.e. both on the air during that bihour: we shall see. DST has just started in NZ, imagining local time UT+13 yet still west of the dateline, which means most programming especially when live from domestic RNZ, has to appear one real UT hour earlier until April; such as, `Mediawatch` UT Sat 2006-2036 on 15720, Sun 0910-0954 on 13690. Its exact duration is unclear; also available as podcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Sept 30 at 0631, surprised to find RNZP here so late, after nothing on 9700, 11725 or 13690; S8/S9 report about a case of radiation exposure on Guam; 0633 start another program, `It`s Personal` interview. This is not a mistake, however, as Tanino Marabello points out, another sked revision shows 17675 at 0000 until 0658 daily ``updated 8 Sept``! Surely was not running 17675 that late already for two sesquiweeks: https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen 17675 also at 2259-0000 Sun-Fri only - so that means ZERO frequencies during that hour on Saturdays, surely not correct! 13690 now shown at 0659-1258 for Pacific daily, AND 1059-1258 for Solomons/PNG on M-F only. Does that mean one transmitter split into NW and NE antennas, or two different transmitters on same frequency? This span was previously shown on two different frequencies. At 1259-1650 daily on 7440 for Pacific, which I confirmed circa 1345 after a 1-hour power outage here. 15720 at 1859-2258 depending on day of week, target. This schedule can be so confusing. Instead of specifying different days of week for each segment, they ought to have complete skeds for Mon-Fri, another for Sat only and another for Sun only. DRM skeds should also be separated. Also it takes a lot of fishing around website to find program sked info, depending on whether it`s RNZ domestic relay and those are of course in local imaginary time UT+13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, Oct 2 at 0646, RNZP at S9+15/25, another NZ anomaly instead of 17675 yesterday. The schedule https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen has been changed again, a portion, but still not matching reality: 00:00 - 06:58 17675 Pacific Updated 2 October 2024 Daily 06:59 - 10:58 13690 Pacific Daily 10:59 - 12:58 13690 Solomon Islands, PNG Mon-Fri 12:59 - 16:50 7440 Pacific Daily Thus, literally, and how else can one take it? NO SIGNAL at 1059-1258 Sat & Sun! Maybe the other target 13690 should have read an extra two hours.

Found that the neutralizer plate was too close to the boiler which has full plate voltage. This caused the transmitter to only run 40 KW. We are now able to run 100 KW. However, the studio lost power today due to the storm and was unable to feed Brother Stair to WTWW. Power will return by Sunday. I am having to take BRo. Stair directly off his website. This caused the #1 & 2 transmitters to be uncontrolable by remote control.  So your program cannot air tonight (Friday). I did run Stair on 9930 from transmitter #2 today Friday). #2 transmitter had a set of its own problems. I am activating a 2nd computer which should correct the problems.
