Re: [IRCA] 531 kHz UnID DU English Recordings

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

James, 

Thanks very much; this is really useful. 

Throughout the DXpedition 531-4KZ was an underperformer, and only showed up (presumably) with some oldies songs once in a while. Until your deciphering I had no definite ID, or other concrete evidence. The station usually has a very good signal on flat ocean beaches on the west coast, but typically gets slammed by 531-PI and (occasionally) 531-More FM at the "Kiwi Cliff."

Gary, 

The 1258utc recording at the 0:08 I hear "..... 4-K-Z regional news..." 
very clearly by a male. The female speaking under 4KZ, that's pretty weak. 
Checking the others now .... 
Thanks

For anyone skillful in deciphering DU English (Theo?) or who may be skillful 
in listening, several strong DU English mystery recordings were made on 531 
kHz during the recent Rockwork 4 DXpedition near Manzanita, Oregon. Signal 
strength wasn't the problem-- my inability to "translate" the unusual 
English tripped me up with these. There are three possibilities with each 
recording-- the 10 kW station 4KZ in Innisfail, Queensland, Australia, the 5 
kW station 2PM in Kempsey, NSW, Australia, and the 2 kW station More FM in 
Alexandra (South Island), New Zealand. 531 kHz was a real circus on the 
ocean cliff almost every morning-- this is just a sample of the 
free-for-all. Any deciphering which might indicate station identity would be 
greatly appreciated!
