Re: [IRCA] West Coast 846 KHz

Hi Bill,

<<< I listened to 846-Kiribati sign off at 0900utc. Nice signal and wonderful acapella national anthem. >>>

If the Kiribati duo (846 and 1440) are now signing off at 0900 UTC then it would be the second time change in about two months. When I was in Kona (mid-December) they switched from a 0936 sign off to a 1006 sign off. 1440 was usually hammered by JOWF around its sign off time in Kona, but 846 was usually in the clear (with only occasional competition from a presumed Radio Veritas).

<<< Who says DXing ainât exciting?! >>>

Not me!

The Puyallup valley is a notorious DU-dead zone, and the IBOC pest 850-KHHO is only 4 air miles away from my DXing spot. Despite this 846-Kiribati made it through with its best-ever audio here (fair) at 0720 UTC (26 minutes ago).
