File review from the Cook island DXpedition has uncovered a pretty obscure Pacific island station, which doesn't seem to be listed in any North American logs. 1170-Eagle Christian Radio is listed with a "?" in the May 2017 PAL, but it certainly seemed alive and well at 0707 UTC on 4-12, just after sunset on Aitutaki island in the Cook Group.
With a female speaker using island-accented English (not DU English) giving a motivational speech mentioning "with your pastor" at the 25 second point, the 5 kW station in Kwajalein (Marshall Islands) is fortunate to broadcast on one of the very few MW frequencies which has no New Zealand stations. The only competition that the exotic Pacific island station had during this recording was from a pretty wacky source-- the Coast-to-Coast program on KFAQ in Tulsa, Oklahoma (at 5,642 miles/ 9080 km) https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/7pof6qol9hnub400ncq3ele32dlf4vy4 There is no actual website for the station, although it does have a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/1st-BNJ-INTERNATIONAL-EAGLE-CHRISTIAN-RADIO-999FM-1170AM-814263745277773/ 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (doing file review for the April Cook Island DXpedition on Aitutaki Island) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
