1701.029 UNID - 1147+ UTC with EE talk which sounded like an interview 
between man and woman. A 1-800 phone number is given out at 1148 UTC by 
woman who says "all you have to do is give us a call, at 1-800-66..." 
Unfortunately the rest of the number succumbs to fade. Audio rapidly in 
and out but fair on those rapid peaks. I note three carriers total here: 
1701.002, 1710.029 & 1710.069. +.029 is the strongest and the one that I 
assume I'm hearing, though +.069 isn't far behind in strength. Any ideas 
what I have here? Islamic Voice Radio or Voice of Charity? This is the 
first decent x-band DU audio ever heard here, albeit only lasting briefly. >>> 

Tim, 

According to a group of DXers in Sydney, Australia, 1701-Voice of Charity is the only one of these low-powered Australian stations that regularly broadcasts in English on that frequency. 

I know this because on July 20, 2012 I had some English audio on 1701 kHz at Cape Perpetua, Oregon (another ocean cliff spot, somewhat more remote from here). This was with a PL-380 Ultralight and a rudimentary 8" FSL antenna. A Sydney DXer said that this was Voice of Charity, although the only real English speech (identifiable as such) is at 1:10 into the recording, where an accented man says something like "You're listening to *******, the Christian way." https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/iidqsjcqcs68oilxuwdgjnsmf7lhhmhd 

In any case there didn't seem to be enough evidence to claim a definite Voice of Charity logging, so I left it in the log as an UnID. Of course, I've never heard anything like it since.

Some activity on the high side of the band for a change with DU carriers 
noted on just about every 9 kHz channel above 1098. Many strong but 
squashed by domestic splatter. Local sunrise was 1137 UTC. 


1098 V7AB - 1129 UTC with man talking in low voice and into Marshalls 
national anthem, poor but music recognizable but faded before finish. 
Signal really picks up later after it goes to open carrier with a 60 Hz hum 
noted again this morning after 1131 UTC sign-off. 


1566 UNID - 1148 UTC something there with threshold audio, DU accented man 
talking thru heavy domestic splatter. 


1638 UNID - 1145+ UTC pop music with thumping beat occasionally heard 
through heavy WSJP splatter. 


1674 UNID - 1143+ UTC with YL talk, threshold level, in and out of WQLR 
slop for brief moments. Nothing intellegible. 


1701.029 UNID - 1147+ UTC with EE talk which sounded like an interview 
between man and woman. A 1-800 phone number is given out at 1148 UTC by 
woman who says "all you have to do is give us a call, at 1-800-66..." 
Unfortunately the rest of the number succumbs to fade. Audio rapidly in 
and out but fair on those rapid peaks. I note three carriers total here:
