NEW ZEALAND Adrian Sainsbury (RNZI) advises that the Mains Breaker has been fixed late last night (NZ Time) and RNZI is back to normal operation with both transmitters. For their full broadcasting schedule visit their website (Mark Nicholls-NZL, Chief Editor/Webmaster, NZ Radio DX League, hcdx March 17) From the Radio NZ International website Yes indeed, we had a power failure caused by a 600 amp mains breaker failing. This took the whole power off the transmission site. Staff today found it was possible to get one transmitter operating, so we are operating a mix of DRM and AM. All very awkward, having to rewrite transmission schedule for the one transmitter. We hope to find a replacement breaker as soon as possible. (Adrian Sainsbury-NZL, March 07, via Erik Koie-DEN, dswci DXW) Update RNZI Power Supply Problem. It is taking much longer than expected to complete repairs. We hope to have our full schedule operating sometime this week. Due to the failure of a Mains Breaker at the RNZI transmission Base we are only able to operate one transmitter at the moment. This means we have had to reduce the hours we broadcast in AM and in DRM. The AM service will available from midnight to 0650 NZ time, 0750-0950, 1050-1400, 1500-1600, 1700-2400. DRM will be available from 0650-0750, 0950-1050, 1400-1500, 1600-1700 NZ time. We regret these interruptions and hope to have normal services back to normal as soon as the repair work is completed.

(Timeanddate.com via gh Glenn Hauser, dxld) Hi, March 14, 2010. Radio Pakistan Nepali service was monitored in Lahore today at 1000 UT at 9375 kHz. Signal was strong. SINPO was 55444. The transmitter buzz was at a minimal level. Programme content was: religious song in Urdu followed by Pakistani film songs in Urdu, News in Nepali at 1015 UT resumption of film songs at 1020 UT. Whenever I monitor Nepali service, I have noted that songs/music in Nepali language are not broadcast from this service. Since this transmission is music based, I wonder why Radio Pakistan cannot arrange some Nepali songs despite the fact that there is an agreement of cooperation between Radio Nepal and Radio Pakistan. (Aslam Javaid-PAK, dxld March 15) Thanks for your report, Aslam, It seems that 9375 kHz via API-3 is doing extremely well currently. Unfortunately there is no propagation to me on 9 MHz at 1015 UT and so I can't try it myself. But the same transmitter should operate on 11525 kHz for Sinhali and Tamil at 1230-1330 so I'll see what I get on there. I would guess that the programme producers should be able to buy Nepali music CD's somewhere in Islamabad if they went out to look! But perhaps the policy is to only broadcast Pakistani music?
