This fairly strong station was received on 1611 kHz at 0855 UTC on December
19th during the Kona, Hawaii trip. Some Bible verses were read at the beginning
of the recording, so it certainly isn't one of the Hawaii TIS stations on 1610.
The strength of the station would seem to rule out the low-power Australians,
and the English has no DU accent. Maybe something new in the Philippines?

Message-ID: <[email protected]>

The new 846-Kiribati transmitter on Christmas Island has awesome signals, and
was overall the strongest Pacific island station received during the recent
Kona, Hawaii DXpedition. Of all the Pacific island DU's it faded in at the
earliest time after sunset, and maintained its strength even during strong
Asian propagation -- as long as it managed to transmit without its signal
dropping out. Unfortunately that seemed to be a pretty common occurrence in
Kona. TP-DXers both on the west coast and in New Zealand have occasionally
found it to be MIA for an entire evening.
In Kona I recorded a couple of MP3's of 846-Christmas Island's signal dropping
out multiple times within one minute. This segment at 0620 UTC on December 17th
features 6 signal dropouts within one minute
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/shqpg3c3yuhz4fzvnhkhkvgzamg4s6do
This segment at 0944 UTC on December 18 is even worse-- 9 dropouts in 90 seconds
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/vxzwv9x8wc9hwqgj4xye2b12fzbtbtsk
After a prolonged 846 transmitter dropout it seemed like the programming time
delay between the distant 1440-Kiribati on Tarawa Island and the new
846-Kiribati on Christmas Island would change. On December 17th I recorded two
different time delays-- 19 seconds, as in the following recording (the MP3
starts out on 846 at 0635, switches to 1440 at the 1:02 point, then switches
back to 846 at the 1:34 point, with a 19-second time delay evident between the
1440 and 846 programming (846 lags behind)
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/leyyz3kj8aarsu4gwp24czdwp0onbk22
Later on the same evening there was a 36 second time delay between 1440 and
846, with this MP3 starting off on 1440 at 0645, and switching to 846 at the 11
second point
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/0w1an6509xvgow2aq9i7lxfyfhx1gend
Both 1440 and 846 now sign off around 1008 UTC, a change from April when 1440
signed off at 0936. Unlike in April 1440-Kiribati was usually getting hammered
by JOWF in Sapporo by that time in the December propagation, although the 1000
Hz tone that 1440 uses before the power is cut gets through QRM like a DXer's
dream. This was the 1440-Kiribati sign off routine (National Anthem and 1000 Hz
tone) recorded on December 19th at 1005

Hi Gary,
Maybe Chris can help out more. When I tuned to a remote SDR from Manila, it
was picking up a weak English station, preaching perhaps, fading in and out
with another station, fyi.

Thanks Todd,
That information is helpful, and appreciated. I also posted the MP3 link on a
Japanese Facebook group, and am awaiting their assessment.
