It managed its best signal ever at 1303 on 8-8 https://app.box.com/s/wruaavle3k3s4x9my9armbxl4od0369s and also sounded pretty overwhelming on the first day (8-1) at 1256 https://app.box.com/s/s594rz5pctqf9hahfhpk7p1du2ajuzp0 I haven't heard anything from Theo, but maybe it had some antenna or transmitter work done (without a 100% Japanese contribution, like 558-Fiji)? Its Maori net parallel 765-Kahungunu was somewhat of an underperformer during the trip, though. In previous years it sounded very much like a Kiwi big gun, but on most days last week it sounded just like a 2.5 kW station.

Wonderful recordings Gary.

Hi Nick, It was an Asian invasion this morning at the Cape Perpetua ocean cliff-- something which seemed very bizarre after spending a week at the Kiwi-dominated Rockwork 4 cliff last month. It wasn't until about 1315 that the DU's managed to evict the Japanese big guns off of their frequencies (594, 693, 747, 774 and 828). 73, Gary DeBock (DXing near Yachats, Oregon) -Original Message- From: Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Sun, Aug 18, 2013 9:59 am Subject: [IRCA] TP 17 Aug; Victoria version Asiatic pretty near exclusively, and not a lot of them. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ.
