Good Morning Gary,

Thanks for another great report! My Hawaii "target list" is growing!

Aloha,

 Another obscure Pacific Island DX station has
 been tracked down with an S9+ signal here in Kona, Hawaii
 during its sign off routine. 1440-Kiribati is one of the
 tougher stations (and countries) to catch because of its
 domestic channel frequency, but this sign off recording
 contains several identity clues to ID the station under
 rough conditions, including the usual female announcer's
 voice, the national anthem, and a blistering tone of long
 duration right before transmitter power is cut off at 0936
 UTC. Unlike 621-Tuvalu this station does not keep any kind
 of open carrier on the air after sign off. 
 
 Thanks also for the previous comments
 on the 621-Tuvalu sign off recording posted yesterday. I
 wish that Bill, Neil and everybody else could be in Kona
 here with me to experience this awesome TP and DU-DX (it's
 kind of like shooting fish in a barrel)!
