This was the 1440-Kiribati sign off routine at 0929 UTC on April 11th of this year, as recorded in Kona, Hawaii. The station has a distinctive 1000 Hz tone at the end of transmission around 0936, which cuts through QRM like a DXer's dream. This recording helped a DXer in Japan ID the station for the first time.

I thought that they moved from 846 to 1440 several years ago?
