RNZI confusing new schedule

RNZI has now adjusted its transmission schedule, resuming 15720 now that spring is in the air and the local clox are now imagining NZ be 13 hours ahead of UT yet not into yesterday. While 13840 hours are diminished.

Note the 0459-, 0559- and 0659- entries showing 11725 now runs until 0658 daily, yet 7245 starts at 0559 Sat & Sun --- not last night! Impossible unless two transmitters be employed during the overlap hour. Not the first time RNZ own sked has not made sense (gh) Viz.:
