You hear other local stations talking to radio amateurs in New Zealand but you don't hear those stations with your beam aimed on the normal compass bearing to New Zealand. What should you try?
Point your beam 180 degrees away from that bearing and listen for the stations arriving on the ""long-path""
Signals can sometimes travel the 'long way around' the Earth, especially on HF bands. Pointing your antenna in the opposite direction might allow you to hear them.
