Re: [IRCA] 630-Cook Islands Sign On Routine (1555 UTC)
Thanks Gary. I've seen it here after 1400UT; it
certainly can sit on other potential DX.
best wishes,
Nick

846-Kiribati does indeed run a open carrier
overnight.On the SSB-equipped CC Skywave it has
a huge carrier around 1100, but that doesn't
stop Radio Veritas from showing up in its null.

Which leads to a question about the Christmas
Island transmitter on 846. Are they running it
at full power, even when there is no
programming? It certainly seems that way,
judging by a strong signal on 846 and lack of
programming before sunrise here on the west
coast.Possibly that's a good idea to keep the
tropical rot at bay, but it must add a
substantial hit to their electricity bill.best
