Re: [IRCA] Report from Grayland, Oct. 15th

As Chuck points out, Kiribati moved to 1440 earlier this year, per the following article on the RNW blog http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/radio-kiribati-changes-mediumwave-frequency. Some NZ DXers have heard it on the new freq. The het may have been from an Aus/NZ station.

As I understand it, 846 is dead (transmitter failures in 2008) and moved to 1440 where it has been heard by a few in the last year.

Kevin Schanilec and I arrived at Grayland Beach State Park yesterday for
three nights of DXing. The primary antenna in use for this trip is a
Wellbrook ALA100 phased array, although later today I'll probably put up a PA0RDT Mini-Whip for a "reference" omni-directional antenna. Kevin is using
his ICOM R-75 on the Wellbrook array, while I have a recently hotrodded
AR7030 Plus receiver in use.

A casual check of the band at approx. 0400 revealed 738 Tahiti at a fair to
good level, and some island music and talk from 1017 Tonga. There were
strong hets on usual South Pacific frequencies 846 and 1098 but no audio at
this time.
