Re: [IRCA] Possible TP/DU on 738 yesterday AM near San Diego?

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Right towards the end of your clip, the woman talking could well be 
French, Stephen.   That would almost certainly be the 20kw French 
Polynesian station on that channel, and that can deliver audio here 
at around that time these mornings.

At this time of year, the other frequencies you mention are likely 
Australia or New Zealand.

2BL-702,  R. New Zealand-567, Southern Star-657 (N. Zealand), and 
4BC-1116 would be my guesses.  Good luck with the audio on these, but 
now is the time to hear them.

best wishes,

Nick
