Hi Mauno,
It was a great pleasure (and honor) to meet you, Vlad and Victor in Cannon Beach on your way back from your Yachats DXpedition. Thanks for the visit, and of course I was also honored to finally meet Bill Whitacre (whose ocean coast DXpeditions last year had a great influence on my own planning). Thank you especially for the tips on 558-Fiji (now defunct) and 1017-Tonga's variable sign-off time.
I was lucky enough to receive some English on 1701 last year at Cape Perpetua, and posted an MP3 for the Australian DXers to investigate (I'll also send it directly to you). VK2DDI (David) listened carefully, and said it was probably the Voice of Charity, because of the English programming. It's not easy to receive good X-band DX on the PL-380 Ultralight, which is more sensitive on the lower band frequencies.

Hi Gary,
back home now last night. It was very nice meeting you!
I wonder if Voice of Charity has also English programming? I have heard
it only in Arabic on the few occasions I have checked it via Sydney
remote rx. But I think R. Brisvaani has some English announcements.
Maybe Voice of Charity, too, I am not sure, maybe also the Melbourne
station.

Hi Dennis,
Congratulations on your success in receiving Radio Brisvaani on 1701 kHz this
morning, and confirming the identity. That is an excellent catch for your
location.
With a generous salt water (and ocean cliff) boost I was able to receive some
English on 1701 kHz at Cape Perpetua (near Yachats) last year, but couldn't dig
out any definite identity clues on the hot-rodded PL-380. Presumably the station
was the Voice of Charity, the usual English HPONS station on the frequency.
Thanks also for your comments on the recent DXpeditions. I wish that you could
have heard the monster DU signals-- they make up for the mediocrity that we hear
at home :-)
