		VOLUME TWO NUMBER FOUR

February 23rd 1997

Welcome to another Edition of the KIWI RADIO WEEKLY.

		**********************************

We are looking to produce a small book on FREE Radio stations that are
operating or have operated in the Southern Hemisphere, Stations such as
Radio G'Day, CBN, KIWI, Pirana, Conchiguaz, and others.
IF you have ANY information on ANY FREE radio stations that originate
from the Southern Hemisphere PLEASE contact us.- Thanks.

		**********************************

As advised to us on the 16th Radio Free London SW had to pull the
plug on their 3945 service that morning due to technical problems ,due
to low modulation - (hopefully they will have sorted it out by now),
leaving 6400 khz still on air.
Well it goes to show that even one of the best do have troubles now and
then with transmitters trying to say that they have had enough, and want
a  rest.
No doubt AW of RFLSW will keep us posted.

For those that were lucky enough to listen to ZLXA - Levin, New Zealand,
to Paul Ormandy's DX Programme "KIWI DX", They would have enjoyed the

		************************************

I was thinking the other day about New Zealand AM / FM Pirate stations,
and there has been a few - not so recent.
A couple of old AM Pirate stations that are no longer - by many years,
that I remember hearing about were Radio Sunshine AM in Otago in the 
1970's, and Radio Makara AM from the Wellington area, also from the
1970's.
FM piracy has been around also particulary in Auckland.
Palmerston North had Radio Dork FM in the mid 1980's.
Wellington had Pirate FM - before it became legal.
Even in 1980 Government buildings had it's own low-powered "unlicensed"
FM transmitter called "Radio Beehive" operated by a member of Parliament
called Aussie Malcolm. ( he was never prosecuted, as the then Minister
of Broadcasting Hugh Templeton said that it "did not" break the Law ) -
it must have been more than a standard wireless microphone operation, as
it was heard in downtown Wellington at the time.
 ONE RULE FOR ONE - ANOTHER FOR SOMEONE ELSE !!

I will be looking more closly at the New Zealand Pirates on AM and FM
from the years gone by, over the next few months.
I am not aware of any active ones, but I bet they are there, especially
Low-powered stations in Auckland or Wellington.
