GuyAs 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.

The primary antenna in use for this trip is aWellbrook ALA100 phased array, although later today I'll probably put up a PA0RDT Mini-Whip for a "reference" omni-directional antenna. Kevin is usinghis ICOM R-75 on the Wellbrook array, while I have a recently hotrodded AR7030 Plus receiver in use. <CLIP>A casual check of the band at approx. 0400 revealed 738 Tahiti at a fair togood level, and some island music and talk from 1017 Tonga.
