Hi Nick,

<<<   1701 maybe two stations at 1226UT, mx and non-EE talk, but no
idea what, because as always, quite weak.   >>>

During the recent ocean cliff DXpedition I made a serious effort to go
after these 400 watt X-band Aussies, but since the propagation favored
New Zealand almost every day, the only modest accomplishment was
on this 1701 kHz frequency.

I was able to record a marginal ID of sorts at 1240 UTC on 7-21 from an 
apparent Christian station on 1701 kHz, although the signal level was 
pretty shaky. In the linked MP3, low-level preaching of some sort 
apparently continues (just above the noise level) until about 21 
seconds into the recording, when a man suddenly pops out of the noise 
with an apparent ID sounding like "You're listening to J.R. (something 
mumbled), the Christian Way." Of course, my analysis is not guaranteed 
:-)

I have no idea whether this station is one of the two that you've been 
hearing in Victoria, and probably the only way to confirm the identity 
of this flea-powered 1701kHz Aussie is to track down a DXer in eastern 
Australia who is willing to listen on the frequency, and match voice 
identification with the IID on the recording.

Yes, it was fairly good here too Dennis, but mostly above 1500 kHz,
with rarely readable audio, though more audio than I've been used to,
and peaking between  1220 and 1235UTC.

738 only audio heard here was very weak, FF inflected talk 1100 UT

1314 man talking 1229UT, but very weak

1503 mx, talk at various times, good carrier but nearly unreadable
audio.

1575 hints of talk 1220-1225UT

1611 suddenly heard quite clearly (though weakly) man saying "you and
I are able to see" at 1222UT; maybe preaching of some kind? but
mostly unreadable

1629 man talking in some Latin language, maybe one of the
Italians?  Again mostly unreadable, though fairly consistent up and
down through the 1220-1240UT period

1701 maybe two stations at 1226UT, mx and non-EE talk, but no idea
what, because as always, quite weak.

best wishes,

Nick
