This evening at 0522UT, I'd set up Spectrum Lab to try to find the fade in time of my mystery carrier on 774, Dennis, and was also monitoring the likely frequency for JOUB as well, which is about 5 Hertz higher. Talk about serendipity! I've just run a chart of the resulting data and....Unfortunately, I wasn't getting anything on either frequency at 0529UT using the westerly Flag, it was all still noise on the channel, so you must have some sort of pipeline there. Nothing faded in until after 0600, and within minutes of each other, around 0606UT, both the suspected JOUB carrier, and the mystery carrier faded in. Now, this is over 90 minutes before Akita sunset (~0750UT), but I've seen that before; first peak occurred at 0619. Suva sunset is at 0647UT, so this, and the fact that this signal is only heard on the westerly Flag (not the northerly one, that rejects signals south of about 250 degrees), points to the mystery being Fiji, though this isn't listed in the references at present; Bruce Portzer saw it noted on the R. Fiji website (http://www.radiofiji.com.fj/index.cfm?si=main.station&station=rftwo). best wishes, Nick **************************************************************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, B.C.
