Re: [IRCA] Tuvalu - 621

[Patrick Martin]

Bill,

Great catch.  Tulavu 621 used to be quite common here on the North Coast 15-20 
years ago, before KPOJ moved their tx site, changed pattern, and boosted power. 
Back then, KPOJ was 5 KW, with a N/S pattern at night, with Hilo HI dominant on 
620.

 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:

 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:

 Not sure which is ‘official.’
 
 Tough copy next to 620.  Had the notch on and really ‘tailored’ the passband.

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.
