As you both have noticed, 603-Waatea did seem to have a significantly improved signal last week during the "Kiwi Cliff" DXpedition. It managed its best signal ever at 1303 on 8-8 https://app.box.com/s/wruaavle3k3s4x9my9armbxl4od0369s and also sounded pretty overwhelming on the first day (8-1) at 1256 https://app.box.com/s/s594rz5pctqf9hahfhpk7p1du2ajuzp0 I haven't heard anything from Theo, but maybe it had some antenna or transmitter work done (without a 100% Japanese contribution, like 558-Fiji)? 

Its Maori net parallel 765-Kahungunu was somewhat of an underperformer during the trip, though. In previous years it sounded very much like a Kiwi big gun, but on most days last week it sounded just like a 2.5 kW station.

They peaked about 1304UT here I think....very good signal, island 
music and talk. I wonder what is their secret, as they have been 
quite common this summer; transmitting tower in the salt water? The 
usual parallel on 765 was only spotty however, and never audible when 603 was. 

best wishes,
