Hi Bill, Great job and a great catch with Tuvalu! It's been a long time since I've caught them on a DXpedition. David Clark logged them in 1997 at Grayland, and I think that I was on that DXpedition and also tuned in Tuvalu (David had a very vocal way of letting everyone know of juicy DX that he'd come across :^)
Besides the mention of Tuvalu at 1:10 in your first recording, I also hear "Tonga" at 1:06 just before. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Bill Whitacre <b...@his.com> > To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America < > irca@hard-core-dx.com>, a...@nrcdxas.org, coastalroundta...@yahoogroups.com > Cc: > Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2015 08:05:28 -0400 > Subject: [IRCA] Tuvalu - 621 > Working my way through wav files from a recent DXpedition to coastal > Washington and Oregon I found this sign/off of Tavalu on 621 kHz from Sans > Souci [between Florence and Yachats, OR] on July 30 at 1000utc: > > http://realmonitor.com/grayland12/150730/SS/1000/tuvalu-621.wav < > http://realmonitor.com/grayland12/150730/SS/1000/tuvalu-621.wav> > > It’s 2:45 long with mention of Tuvalu at 1:10 and a couple of ‘national > anthems.’ I’ve got the first one in the above cut and the 2nd one in this > one: > > http://realmonitor.com/grayland12/150730/SS/1000/tuvalu-621b.wav < > http://realmonitor.com/grayland12/150730/SS/1000/tuvalu-621b.wav> > > Not sure which is ‘official.’ > > Tough copy next to 620.
