This morning, I made a short recording of Radio Australia as they reported on the power outages that affected an entire territory in the wake of the worst storms southern Australia has seen in decades.
This recording begins around 12:59 UTC on September 28, 2016 and runs only for a few minutes. This was recorded from 9,580 kHz in western North Carolina:
Adventist World Radio Asia in English, recorded in Europe on 25 September 2016 at 1600 GMT, transmitting on shortwave frequency of 11975 kHz (Trincomalee, Perkara, Sri Lanka transmitter site, 125 kW transmitter power). This transmission includes “Wavescan”, a DX programme for shortwave listeners and enthusiasts.
Voice of Korea (North) broadcasting in English, September 24, 2016, at 1330 GMT on shortwave frequency of 13760 kHz (transmitter power of 200 kW, transmitter location: Kujang, North Korea)

Starting time: 0616 UTC
Frequency: 11.825

Notes:
This was one of the first DX stations I logged when I got started in SWLing - DXing. Radio Tahiti was a nice music station to listen to on cold winer nights here in the northern hemisphere. Sadly this is no longer on the air, but I was happy toke this recording. I used a DX-302 with outside wire antenna. Recorded Feb. 7, 1982 on a frequency of 11.825 kHz possibly 15.170 kHz.
