Thanks very much, Tony!
There is obviously no better authority on NZ and Oz accents than an ex-Kiwi living in Australia.

These accents can be rough on Yankee English speakers. Both 531-4KZ and More FM are regulars at the Cliff, making the puzzle more interesting.

Well, Theo mentioned that he was looking forward to some more recordings from the "Kiwi Cliff," so I thought I would oblige him. Not to mention the DU-English in some of these ads is way beyond the deciphering capability of any sleep-deprived Yankee DXer.

531  UnID-DU (either 4KZ or More FM)   OK Theo, this lady's DU English speech is potent indeed, but her accent is so strong that she might as well be speaking Chinese (which would be easier for me to understand). Heard at 1255 in a mix with a weaker PI
https://app.box.com/s/lbmcayqyvvivedjx1j1ru5ihdcdydsem

531  PI   Auckland, NZ, 5 kW   Strong island music at 1247; generally dominant on the frequency until 1255, when the above station kicked it off the cliff
https://app.box.com/s/kva0d28m5i9behw4b13mr496mxducw9d

558  Radio Fiji One   Suva, Fiji, "10 kW"   Actually sounding somewhat energetic with typical island music at 1307
https://app.box.com/s/vprj88dgl97t4lcp5tx23edh31gorfd0
The usual male announcer with more island music at 1333
https://app.box.com/s/2y8dsur5tdymla0qs4fgfw64e4b4mwnq

585  UniD   DU English station not // to 576 at 1204; maybe 2WEB?
https://app.box.com/s/vxvrtwbaeb037cej1m3qxicl36544hm4

603  Radio Waatea   Auckland, NZ, 5 kW   Maori music at S9+ level for over 3 minutes around 1256; the strongest signal this big gun has ever managed at the cliff  https://app.box.com/s/s594rz5pctqf9hahfhpk7p1du2ajuzp0

657  Star   Wellington/ Tauranga, NZ, 50/ 10 kW   S9+ News concerning the Labour Party; another one of the session's awesome Kiwi signals
https://app.box.com/s/9zien3rdlj80pe61vmfsq8sz8jox26rg
Equally strong Christian music and mini-sermon by Irish-accented preacher at 1215
https://app.box.com/s/psfs64lczen4cfk137pijj0hpqc43dad

702  Magic-2BL   A royal mess at 1243 as the two big gun DU's manage to wipe out the frequency for most of sunrise enhancement. Magic is the oldies station, while the female DU English speaker is from the Oz LR network (2BL, 3LO etc.)
https://app.box.com/s/m1hlbzi2c98m5ur83mi62ihg2ppyjrpw

1017  A3Z  Nuku'alofa, Tonga, 10 kW   Island choral music at decent level around 1036 (after a rush FSL antenna setup)
https://app.box.com/s/ef3lyfav23rqu7k86eqbw79xvkuks8oa

1386  Radio Tarana   Auckland, NZ, 10 kW   Potent signal, but who knows what language this lady is speaking (at 1253). Maybe Hindu-accented DU English,
Theo?  https://app.box.com/s/rnz50cg9xv8duvz161jgymjr3xlp4q8h

1503  Radio Sport   Wellington/ Christchurch, NZ  (5/ 2 kW)   By far the easiest language to understand all session long--- Yankee-accented English from the Fox Sports Network at 1315   https://app.box.com/s/x2qfq4vcsdq2f8jvsusob1cbfjdj51x8

73 and Good DX,
