Garry,

Thanks for searching out Kiwi's that have LF coverage. I have tried 
quite a few and find the process time consuming and frustrating when 
nothing is seen.

It's a big surprise to see the WM trace in Co., considering the way WM 
started up this year. Nothing has changed at the transmitter site except 
for a couple tenths of rain.

Thanks for listening.
