Thanks Todd,


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

 Maybe Chris can help out more. When I tuned to a remote SDR from Manila,

[IRCA] 846-Kiribati Transmitter Issues

2017-12-29 Thread Gary DeBock 
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

[IRCA] 1611 kHz UnID in Kona, Hawaii

2017-12-29 Thread Gary DeBock 
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?
