Re: [IRCA] Yet Another 531 kHz DU Mystery from Rockwork 4

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks very much for digging out the 531-4KZ area details, Paul. 
 
Your analysis matches one by NZ resident Bryan Clark, communicatedÂin a Facebook DX-related group. After sorting through 5 hours of 531 DU recordingsÂmade from 6-25 through 6-29 at the Rockwork 4 cliff site both 4KZ and the Kiwi Samoan-language station PI have shown up multiple times, and even the 2ÂkWÂKiwi station More FM has shown up twice.ÂButÂthe Oz stationÂ2PM (Port Macquarie) has yet to appear, and there are about 2 moreÂhours of 531 recordings to go through.ÂÂÂÂ

Gary, 

Going into further detail, I have amplified 3 specific sections of your 
clip and posted it here: 

http://www.onairdj.com/garys531.mp3 


At 3.5 to 5.0 seconds, listen for "Normanton" .. a town just south of 
Karumba on northern Queenslands west coast 

at 15.5 to 17.0 seconds listen for "Townsville Coast", a town on northern 
Queensland's east coast, about 75 miles south of Innisfail. 

at 21.4 to 23.0 seconds, listen for "The gulf around Karumba".. on northern 
Queenslands west coast, directly opposite Cairns. 

4kz has a low powered rebroadcaster in Karumba on 1611 and I'm pretty sure 
they have a relay around townsvil;le along with full power sister stations 
there. 

So 4KZ it is on your latest UN'id 531` clip. 

Paul
