Thanks ExSp33db1rd; your local input is more valuable than you may have first imagined - we'll be over there for a couple of weeks in mid September, and my observations were based on what I read on the web regarding coverage for my own time there.
I'll certainly note what you have observed as a local, although we will be working southeast of Auckland initially and then migrating down to the other island. T'would be nice to see the Bay of Islands again but sadly time doesn't permit on this sortie.
Thanks
