Re: [IRCA] Troubles at Tonga 1017

Thanks Theo, 

This provides some background information on the apparent disarray in 1017-Tonga's broadcasting schedule last August (observed at Rockwork). On only one day out of four did the station sign off at 1103 UTC (as was fairly typical in years past), with three earlier or later sign offs. On one day (August 2nd) the station "signed off" at 1103 with the full choral routine, only to have the usual male announcer come back again at 1310 with his usual "island time" monolog, with no apparent sports event or other reason.
