801 is in Portuguese, and to my ears of the Brazilian kind.
Are you sure you weren't on 800, though the direction would be totally
wacky? <g> The woman says "Transmundial" within the opening seconds of
your clip but there's no context I can grab before that.

Hi Gary
It sounds like you're off to a good start.
783 lacked the key words I need, such as "Guangbo", to ID Chinese
stations. No ideas on that one.
801 sounds like Italian, which suggests the Rete Italia station in
Gosford NSW. The gang at RealDX should be able to nail it down for
sure.
Enjoy you trip

ÂÂÂÂÂ After two trips to Kona, Hawaii (on the Big Island) my wife and
I decided to try a vacation on the "Garden Island" of Kauai. Craig
Barnes has already been here with his 5" Frequent Flyer FSL in April
of 2017 ,and made out like a bandit with lots of Asian DX in
Princeville, on the north side of the island.
ÂÂÂÂÂ Whereas Kona on the Big Island has a high mountain ridge which
greatly reduces the strength of North and South American stations,
Poipu in Kauai has a straight ocean shot to both areas, along with
similar paths to both Asia and the South Pacific. In DXing tonight it
seemed like all four areas were coming in at good strength, with 621
kHz having two S9 stations from two different areas (621-Tuvalu and
VoK's Japanese service) and 1440 kHz having the same (Kiribati and
JOWF). Fortunately the "Frequent Flyer" FSL can completely null out
one area or the other.
ÂÂÂÂÂ To investigate some questions that were discussed recently
among the Northwest TP-DXing gang, I made a recording of 621-VoK's
Japanese service at 0943, complete with a buzzing hum on the audio
(which is more noticeable during signal fades)

There was also a question of the identity of the 783 "Chinese Opera"
station. At the 1000 TOH I was able to record the full Chinese ID,
which hopefully someone can decipher
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/rcliqm4q1b9amlvmw11ofgfje6en66a2
Finally, I promised Chris Kadlec that I would investigate whether 801
kHz really has a Seoul metro area jammer on the Pyongyang BS signal .
Unfortunately 801 kHz had this monster UnID covering the frequency
from 0910-0930 tonight, which I think may be from the Philippines.
Can anyone provide language or station identification?

Anyway, Chris, I'll keep trying on the 801 jammer investigation. One
thing seems to be for sure here in Kauai-- the 819-KCBS and 981-CNR1
stations don't seem to have the overwhelming strength that they did
in Kona (at least not tonight). But 783-China was at S9+ strength for
much of the evening, when it was pretty weak in Kona

figure!
73 and Good DX,
