I have had Kiribati 846 carrier peaking here best about 0453 (just after
their sunset) and over 30 dB above the noise floor. This level has been
shown to be clearly above what is needed to get audio from other DU's but
KOA slop is horrendous on the west DKAZ aimed right at them. 73 KAZ

Both Kiribati stations (846 and 1440) sign off around 1006 UTC recently, Neil,
and our usual antenna setup at the Rockwork cliff is around 1100 UTC for the
sunrise sessions. For this reason, neither station is usually reported from the
cliff. 621-Tuvalu and 540-Samoa, both of, which also sign of
They certainly were on the Washington coast
around 0515UT this past week Neil, but by
supposed s/off at 1000UT, not really. Kirimati
local sunset is about that time, not too long after the northwest coast's.
Depending on your local interference, maybe
0500-0600UT might be a good time for you
Is Kiribati still doing well on 846? 73 KAZ

Thanks for the information and link, Bruce.
It's obvious that something had dramatically changed with 1017-Tonga's signal
in Oregon. Along with the revitalized 558-Fiji, North American DXers now have
two powerful DU targets. The Japanese transmitter on 558 is still performing
very well, and 990
Mark I am no more than 100 miles basically WNW of you and over the past few
years have had well over a dozen DU's using a DKAZ aimed west. When one
considers the great circle paths to these, most come from the W or WSW and
aiming SW is too far southerly,

Tonga had a new transmitter installed about a year ago, which would
explain why it's been heard so well lately.
There's a brief story about it at http://www.tonga-broadcasting.net/?p=7192

I have a couple of tentative recordings of Tahiti on 738, but since
that's gone, I guess I'll add this one to my list of island stations to
try and hear.
