Back to China again this morning, with several holding forth. Quite a sharp
peak between 1310 and 1320UT, not as interesting before and after that period.
Within the period.."I'm sure there's DX that was missed".
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least
Thanks Bruce, I'll give both of them a try.
630-Cook Islands doesn't sign off at local midnight any more; it abruptly
switches to a Newstalk ZB feed at 2358 local time (0958 UTC). It apparently
runs the Newstalk ZB programming all night long, then resumes its local
programming around 0600
Way to go, Gary.
Nice going on 6DL. Maybe Indonesia and Philippines are next? They're
not that much different from Western Australia in terms of bearing and
distance.

Hi Tony,
Kia Orana! This place is about as different from North America as you can get--
hot and humid, wacky rain and windstorms, Kiwi dollars and turbo-boosted ocean
beach DX!
990-Fiji Gold was S9.like all the other Pacific island DU's this morning,
despite using only my hand-held
Much less in terms of audio today and more of an Asian slant, though
the DU carries were still plentiful.

Enjoy your time in the wonderful Cook Islands Gary! Are you hearing the other
Fijian; “Gold FM, only the classics”. Generally non-stop pop with self-promos
and EG adverts pounding into Russell (the NZRDXL KiwiSDR) and comfortably
wiping out the Auckland ethnic Hindi station…

The rain and wind were pounding the ocean beach this morning but a
ruggedly-built 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave SSB model once again provided all the
sunrise DXing excitement that anyone could hope for. Ocean-boosted propagation
right next to the surf brought in a lot of weird stuff that normally
Thanks Craig,
The DU propagation here is in a much higher league than what we get on the west
coast, making the hot-rodded Ultralights unusually competitive for long range
DX. I'm pretty sure that 531-6DL was coming in on the 7,5" loopstick CC Skywave
alone at 1635 UTC this morning.

Gary,
That's great news! The 5" FSL overkill! Wow! I am really looking forward to
what else will come your way in the Cook Is. Thanks for the report.

A five day trip to Aitutaki in the Southern Cook Islands kicked off this
evening after the successful deployment of a 5" TSA-friendly FSL antenna and
two 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave Ultralight models. As with all other of these
"Frequent Flyer" FSL models, the antenna breezed through TSA
