It was a pleasant surprise to hear and identify 4ZR Roma, Queensland on 1476 kHz on the 6th March 2006 via the FRG7 and 160 metre BOG at Fish Hoek. The 2 kw signal made it through over a distance of 7 146 miles / 11 500 km.
I received a brief e-mail verification from Programme Director Trent Towsen. General Manager Kerri Collins also kindly responded with a friendly email reply.
