Hi Walt,

Thanks for the comments. Except for your recent logging of Fiji-684 while in Masset, I wouldn't even have thought of checking 639 kHz for the Radio Fiji One parallel. 639 has been booming in almost every morning here around 1245, but 684 kHz has been touch and go at best.

603 kHz provided a very nice MP3 of the Maori station in NZ yesterday, and 585 kHz was booming in with classic rock from the DU direction on Tuesday (no idea who that was, but got a nice MP3 of Boston's "More Than a Feeling"). 666 kHz has had weak French on most mornings, but signals are touch and go at best. 594 kHz seems to have NZ Rhema mixing with ABC on Kiwi-slanted mornings, and occasionally alone. 639 kHz has a DU English talk station (either Kiwi or Aussie) mixing with Fiji at times, and occasionally fighting it out for dominance. 531 is the usual Aussie non-ID soft rock station, with no sign yet of the Kiwi Samoan signal. 558 has a DU which is playing hard to get, but the DU "big guns" on 567, 594, 657, 675, 702, 738, 774, 792, 891 and 1116 have had no trouble getting their points across. All in all, it's been way more DXing fun than I deserve, for this humble modified ULR and 3' portable loop. As John used to say, though, it's never too late to be greedy for more! 

73, Gary DeBock (in Lincoln City, OR)

Gary, 684 Radio Fiji 1 was very well heard one morning in Masset, well over // 
39 which was very weak there.  Great to hear that you've done so well!

 Hello All,
 
 Thanks to both Patrick and Tony for the suggestion of Noumea, 
 New Caledonia as the likely French station heard on 666 kHz here 
 in Lincoln City, OR this week. This was never heard during any 
 of my visits to Grayland, and its signal strength was only 
 decent on one out of four days this week.
 
 Another mystery solved this week was the 684 kHz perenially weak 
 station (which was finally IDed as a parallel of the much 
 stronger 639-Radio Fiji One, for my second Fiji logging). A 
 pesky UnID DU (possibly with a foreign language) is mixing 
 almost every morning on 594 kHz with the ABC station, and an 
 Australian talk station is giving 639-Fiji fits on certain 
 mornings, depending upon propagation.
