Dear Madam, Hats off to Radio New Zealand International (RNZI) for their excellent shortwave weather reporting of Cyclones Ron, Susan and Katrina as they tracked across the Pacific in early January.

Gale, storm and cyclone warnings and alerts were updated regularly and directed to residents of the Cook Islands, Samoa, Wallis and Futuna, Kingdom of Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands.

Reports for Vanuatu included important tracking map details as well. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Radio New Zealand! You pro vide a wonderful public service.
