[IRCA] Like Downtown Auckland

Here are some more "Kiwi Cliff" recordings from yesterday morning's session at Rockwork 3-- once again demonstrating the unique transoceanic signal boost that the wacky site provides for New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. All of these MP3's (except for the 531 signals) were recorded on the new XHDATA D-808 portable, which is getting the "acid test" in this very rough DXpedition environment. So far two hot-rodded D-808 models have performed superbly! Yesterday morning's photo of a hot-rodded D-808 model next to the largest known FSL antenna on the planet (a 17 inch model) is posted at  https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/gb01w0pramps7kfn84b1jim4d578ngzd     A full report on the D-808's DXpedition performance will be made after the trip.
